Encryption
a method of protecting information as it moves from one computer
to another. The information is encoded (by using a mathematical
algorithm) before it is
sent and decoded with a secret key when it is received thus
making it unreadable to anyone who might intercept it. Only the
persons sending and receiving the information have the key and
this except those persons (your browser does it automatically).
