| | Introduction to Encryption |
 | | Encryption is said to occur when data is passed through a series of mathematical operations that generate an alternate form of that data; the sequence of these operations is called an algorithm. | | | Encryption of files protects the data that is written to the hard disk on the computer. | | | Encryption can be used to provide high levels of security to network communication, e-mail, files stored on hard drives or floppy disks, and other information that requires protection. |

| | Encryption |
| | Encryption involves encoding data that is being transmitted via a computer network or disk so that only the sender and the recipient can read the data. | | | Encryption is an effective way of minimising the risks of using technology. | | | Data is encrypted by the sender using a software program to "scramble" or encipher data using a code "locking key." The recipient "unscrambles" or deciphers the data by using the matching "unlocking key," which is unique to the recipient. |

| | Encryption (open literature only) |
| | In addition to the characteristics of a particular encryption algorithm that are required to support a given use, the algorithm itself is generally integrated into a larger system that handles other aspects of the area to which encryption is being applied to ensure correct use and to minimize the visibility of the use of encryption. | | | Encryption is used to protect the confidentiality of information when it must reside or be transmitted through otherwise unsafe environments. | | | In general, because of increasing computing power, it is safest to assume that a message is not breakable only during a particular "time window" based on current and projected computing technology. |

| | Simple stream encryption algorithms generate, based on the key, a stream of bytes which are XORed with the plain text data bytes to produce the cipher text on encryption and with the cipher text bytes to produce plain text on decryption. | | | The URI of the encryption algorithm, including possible key wrap algorithms, in which the derived keying material is to be used ("Example:Block/Alg" in the example above), not the URI of the agreement algorithm. | | | Block encryption algorithms take, as implicit arguments, the data to be encrypted or decrypted, the keying material, and their direction of operation. |

| | Washingtonpost.com: Encryption Special Report |
| | Modern encryption is achieved with algorithms that use a "key" to encrypt and decrypt messages by turning text or other data into digital gibberish and then by restoring it to its original form. | | | Encryption software can also use keys in different ways. | | | Given the current power of computers, a 56-bit key is considered crackable; a 128-bit key isn't – at least not without an enormous amount of effort. |

| | Data Encryption Techniques |
| | Alternately, for improved encryption, you can use more than one byte, and either use a 'checksum' or a CRC algorithm to generate the index byte. | | | I have been doing data encryption since my college days, when I used an encryption algorithm to store game programs and system information files on the university mini-computer, safe from 'prying eyes'. | | | The encryption and decryption programs would each use a table that translates to and from the encrypted data. |

| | The advantages of asymmetric algorithms are that compromising one of the keys is not sufficient for breaking the cipher and fewer unique keys must be generated. | | | DES and the International Data Encryption Algorithm (IDEA) are the two most commonly used symmetric techniques. | | | The most common asymmetric technique is the RSA algorithm, named after Ronald Rivest, Adi Shami, and Len Adleman, who invented it while at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1977. |
