From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   encryption
  
      Any procedure used in {cryptography}
      to convert {plaintext} into {ciphertext} (encrypted message)
      in order to prevent any but the intended recipient from
      reading that data.
  
      Schematically, there are two classes of encryption primitives:
      {public-key cryptography} and {private-key cryptography}; they
      are generally used complementarily.
      Public-key encryption algorithms include {RSA};
      private-key algorithms include the obsolescent {Data Encryption
      Standard}, the {Advanced Encryption Standard}, as well as
      {RC4}.
  
      The {Unix} command {crypt} performs a weak form of encryption.
      Stronger encryption programs include {Pretty Good Privacy} and
      the {GNU Privacy Guard}.
  
      Other closely related aspects of {cryptograph} include
      {message digests}.
