WHAT DOES ENCRYPT MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Encryption

In cryptography, encryption is the process of encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can read it. Encryption does not of itself prevent interception, but denies the message content to the interceptor.:374 In an encryption scheme, the message or information, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm, generating ciphertext that can only be read if decrypted. For technical reasons, an encryption scheme usually uses a pseudo-random encryption key generated by an algorithm. It is in principle possible to decrypt the message without possessing the key, but, for a well-designed encryption scheme, large computational resources and skill are required. An authorised recipient can easily decrypt the message with the key, provided by the originator to recipients but not to unauthorised interceptors.

Definition of encrypt in the English dictionary

The first definition of encrypt in the dictionary is to put into code. Other definition of encrypt is to put into a coded form. Encrypt is also to distort so that it cannot be understood without the appropriate decryption equipment.
