6. encryption
   Manipulating data using an encryption key and a known algorithm to make it unreadable to anyone who does not possess the decryption key. Both public key and private key systems are used in mobile networks; examples from the GSM world include the A3, A5 and A8 algorithms. Encryption is related to authentication and the whole area is dealt with as AAA (Authentication, Authorisation and Accounting) in the Internet world.

15. Encryption
    In cryptography, encryption is the process of transforming information (referred to as plaintext) to make it unreadable to anyone except those possessing special knowledge, usually referred to as a key. The result of the process is encrypted information (in cryptography, referred to as ciphertext).
