| comp., MS | Advanced Encryption Standard | uHlobo oluNgabonakaliyo olukwiNqanaba eliphezulu (A cryptographic algorithm specified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to protect sensitive information) |
| comp., MS | Data Encryption Standard | uHlobo oluNgabonakaliyo lweeNgcombolo (An encryption algorithm that uses a 56-bit key and maps a 64-bit input block to a 64-bit output block. The key appears to be a 64-bit key, but one bit in each of the eight bytes is used for odd parity, resulting in 56 bits of usable key) |
| comp., MS | encryption key | iqhosha elizinyelisiweyo (A bit string that is used in conjunction with an encryption algorithm to encrypt and decrypt data) |
| comp., MS | encryption provider | isiniki se-enkhripshini (Software that provides encryption for sensitive data, such as passwords, in applications) |
| comp., MS | Triple Data Encryption Standard | umGangatho weeNgcombolo ezintlantlu-ntathu eziFihliweyo (An encryption algorithm based on the Data Encryption Standard (DES)) |
