Encoding
- Encrypting
- Using encryption methods
Description
Encoding is the strategic process of converting information, messages, or data into a specific format or code to ensure secure, efficient, and accurate transmission, storage, or interpretation. This action addresses problems of miscommunication, data loss, and unauthorized access by standardizing content for intended recipients or systems. Effective encoding remedies these issues by facilitating reliable information exchange, protecting sensitive data, and enabling interoperability across diverse platforms and languages.
Implementation
Encryption has become the most important tool for protection against surveillance. A message is scrambled so that only the intended recipient will be able to unscramble, and subsequently read, the contents. Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) is the best-known encryption program and has over 100,000 users, including human rights groups such as Amnesty International.
