Encryption is a cryptographic process that converts readable data into encoded data using a mathematical algorithm and key, so that only authorized parties that possess the appropriate key can restore the original information. Expanded Explanation 1. Technical Function and Core Characteristics Encryption uses mathematically defined algorithms and cryptographic keys to transform plaintext into ciphertext that is computationally infeasible to recover without the correct key. Algorithms include

Graph

A glossary entry defines a term and stops there. It doesn't show where the term is actually being used or written about. We track and link every article that covers it.

A dictionary definition doesn't say how often a term is actually used. This counts it across the graph -- articles that mention it, open source projects tagged with it, and the organizations tagged with it, listed here alongside the count. A term has no peer companies, and nothing here claims otherwise.
