Explain Terms

Some Terms:

• Encoder - An encoder is a device, circuit, transducer, software program, algorithm or person that converts information from one format or code to another, for the purposes of standardization, speed, secrecy, security or compressions.
• Encryption - In cryptography, encryption is the process of encoding messages (or information) in such a way that only authorized parties can read it.
• Authentication - Authentication is the act of confirming the truth of an attribute of a datum or entity.

USA: Encryption on my Part 97 has and would serve many of the same purposes of encryption on Part 15.

Interoperability with existing well-proven and widely-deployed protocols like SSH and HTTPS would be dandy, and these protocols use encryption. Additionally, authentication could be used to prevent unauthorized access to resources like repeaters, radio-bbs, and parts of AMPRNet.
