Re: whats the difference between Encryption and Encoding ? or both are same ?

> Well both the term encoding and encryption are same...?

Generally, encoding is merely an expression of information
in different terms, while encryption also implies that the
reexpression of the information is intended to be
unintelligible to unauthorized parties. There is a lot of
encoding going on in digital systems, but most of it is not
intended to keep information secret.
