Encryption
Encryption is the process of protecting voice or data information from being obtained by unauthorized users. Encryption involves the use of a data processing algorithm (formula program) that uses one or more secret keys that both the sender and receiver of the information use to encrypt and decrypt the information. Without the encryption algorithm and key(s), unauthorized listeners cannot decode the message. When the encryption and decryption keys are the same, the encryption process is known as symmetrical encryption. When different encryption and decryption keys are used (such as in a public encryption system), the process is known as asymmetrical encryption. Encryption Operation
This diagram shows how encryption can convert non-secure information (clear text) into a format (cyphertext) that is difficult or impossible for a recipient to understand without the proper decoding keys. In this example, data is provided to an encryption processing assembly that modifies the data signal using an encryption key. This diagram also shows that additional (optional) information, such as a frame count or random number, may be used along with the encryption key to provide better information encryption protection.
