Encryption

Definition by BestHost Ratings

Encryption is the process of converting readable data into unreadable characters to prevent unauthorized access. To decipher the message, the receiver of the encrypted data must have the proper decryption key. Also there are one-way encryption methods, which cannot be decrypted later. For example MD5. These are used for storing sensible information as passwords for example.
