| Advanced Encryption Standard | Estándar de cifrado avanzado (A cryptographic algorithm specified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) to protect sensitive information) |
| asymmetric encryption | cifrado asimétrico (A method of encryption that uses a pair of mathematically related keys: a public key and a corresponding private key. Either key can be used to encrypt data, but the corresponding key must be used to decrypt it) |
| 128-bit encryption | cifrado de 128 bits (A high level of encryption that uses a 128-bit key to scramble the contents of a file or data packet to make the data unreadable without the decryption key) |
| 40-bit encryption | cifrado de 40 bits (A low level of encryption that uses a 40-bit key to scramble the contents of a file or data packet to make the data unreadable without the decryption key) |
| 128-bit SSL encryption | cifrado SSL de 128 bits (An encryption level used for SSL. The number refers to the length of the key, so the higher the number, the more difficult the encryption is to break) |
| BitLocker Drive Encryption | Cifrado de unidad BitLocker (A hardware-based security feature that prevents unauthorized access to a computer by providing full-volume encryption and integrity checking of boot components) |
| BitLocker on-write encryption | cifrado BitLocker durante escritura (A BitLocker feature that incrementally encrypts the hard drive as free space is used) |
| bulk encryption | cifrado masivo (A process in which large amounts of data, such as files, e-mail messages, or online communications sessions, are encrypted for confidentiality. It is usually done with a symmetric key algorithm) |
| data encryption | cifrado de datos (The process of converting readable data (plaintext) into a coded form (ciphertext) to prevent it from being read by an unauthorized party) |
| Data Encryption Standard | Estándar de cifrado de datos (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) |
| Device Encryption | Cifrado de dispositivo (The out-of-the-box encryption capabilities that are automatically included on PCs running Windows RT.) |
| device encryption | cifrado del dispositivo (The use of encryption to protect local device data from offline hardware attacks) |
| encryption key | clave de cifrado (A bit string that is used in conjunction with an encryption algorithm to encrypt and decrypt data) |
| encryption provider | proveedor de cifrado (Software that provides encryption for sensitive data, such as passwords, in applications) |
| encryption setting | configuración de cifrado (A configuration element that specifies a type of encryption, such as 128-, 56-, or 40-bit encryption) |
| full volume encryption | cifrado de volumen completo (The process of converting volumes into a coded form so they cannot be read without first authenticating to Windows; or, if on different hardware, without an escrowed recovery key) |
| full volume encryption key | clave de cifrado del volumen completo (The algorithm-specific key that is used to encrypt (and optionally, diffuse) data on disk sectors. Currently, this key can be either 128 bits or 256 bits advanced encryption standard (AES). The default encryption algorithm that BitLocker Drive Encryption uses is AES 128 bit with diffuser) |
| public key encryption | cifrado de clave pública (A method of encryption that uses a pair of mathematically related keys: a public key and a corresponding private key. Either key can be used to encrypt data, but the corresponding key must be used to decrypt it) |
| Rivest-Shamir-Adleman encryption The patented public key encryption method, introduced by Ronald Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman in 1978, on which the PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) encryption program is based | cifrado Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) |
| RSA encryption | cifrado RSA (The patented public key encryption method, introduced by Ronald Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman in 1978, on which the PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) encryption program is based) |
| secret key encryption | cifrado de clave secreta (An encryption algorithm that requires the same secret key to be used for both encryption and decryption. Because of its speed, symmetric encryption is typically used when a message sender needs to encrypt large amounts of data) |
| symmetric encryption | clave de cifrado simétrica (An encryption algorithm that requires the same secret key to be used for both encryption and decryption. Because of its speed, symmetric encryption is typically used when a message sender needs to encrypt large amounts of data) |
| TLS encryption | cifrado TLS (A generic security protocol similar to Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), used with Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)) |
| Transport Layer Security encryption | cifrado Seguridad de la capa de transporte (A generic security protocol similar to Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), used with Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)) |
| Triple Data Encryption Standard An encryption algorithm based on the Data Encryption Standard (DES) | 3DES (Triple Data Encryption Standard) |
