| Definition |
Encryption basically involves running a readable message known as "plaintext" through a computer program that translates the message according to an equation or algorithm into unreadable "ciphertext." Decryption is the translation back to plaintext when the message is received by someone with an appropriate "key." The message is both encrypted and decrypted by compatible keys.

| Context |
Where personal data are incorporated into material held on an Internet site available for public access or for access by members of a closed user group, different considerations apply. Unless access is restricted to a closed user group and is coupled with encryption and/or a firewall, any person with access to the Internet can visit the site and extract information held on it.
