Encryption of data is like locking up your house. Nobody can access the data, unless they have the "key", or decryption code. It is used for transporting sensitive data, in organizations like the military, so that hackers cannot access the data. Of course, there are ways of "Brute Forcing" the data to decrypt it, which is often used is someone, like a hacker, is trying to access the data.
There are also different "levels" of encryption. Such as:
8-bit
16-bit
32-bit
64-bit
128-bit
And so on....
The higher the level of encryption, the harder the data is to decrypt.
Encryption is taking straight text and scrambling it for security purposes. Businesses are required by law (Sarbanes Oxley is one I'm familiar with) to protect the data they hold.
Anyone who wants to try to protect or restrict access to information.

What is Scrambling of messages at the sending end and unscrambling them at the receiveing end is called?
Encryption
An attacker has managed to decode the encrypted messages of a wireless network the network uses windows xp and cisco equipment the security protocol that is used is wep with 64-bit encryption which?
You need to choose stronger encryption and longer encryption key.
What keys on source and target computers do you need to install to allow symmetric encryption?
Identical
What is the difference between advanced encryption algorithm and encryption algorithm?
People have developed many encryption algorithms. One particular encryption algorithm is the Rijndael algorithm, usually called the AES or Advanced Encryption Standard.
You got Ubuntu installed but you don't have a wireless connection you also need WPA encryption Can you help?
No
How can i convert decrypt code into ordinary language?
There is no simple answer to this question. Each encoding or encryption will have an associated decoding/decryption. In order to figure out the original message you need to at least know how it was encoded. If it was encrypted, then you will likely also need additional information such as encryption keys.
Can you hide a complete hard drive?

Is encryption crackable?
Encryption is converting plain text into cipher text . Yes, encryption can be cracked and then the text can be decrypted.
Is pgp encryption safer than other encryptions?
"Evaluating cryptography is difficult since without 'breaking' the encryption its hard to say whether one encryption is better or not. Pretty Good Encryption (PGP) is asymmetric, that is the encryption and decryption keys are different which may give it an edge on symmetric encryption."
What are the price ranges of encryption software?
Basic encryption (up to 256 bit encryption) software costs around $400 per year. Encryption softwares are not 100% foolproof.
