Encryption definition

Encryption means methods of rendering personally identifiable information unusable, unreadable, or indecipherable to unauthorized persons through the use of a technology or methodology specified or permitted by the Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services in guidance issued under 42 USC Section 17932(h)(2).
Encryption means a technology or methodology that utilizes an algorithmic process to transform data into a form in which there is a low probability of assigning meaning without use of a confidential process or key, and such confidential process or key that might enable decryption has not been breached, and shall have the meaning given to such term under HIPAA and HIPAA Regulations, including 45 CFR §164.304.
Encryption means methods of rendering Personally Identifiable Information unusable, unreadable, or indecipherable to unauthorized persons through the use of a technology or methodology specified or permitted by the Secretary of the United States department of health and human services in guidance issued under Section 13402(H)(2) of Public Law 111-5.

Examples of Encryption in a sentence

  • The Consultant shall not transmit confidential, personal, or sensitive data via e-mail or other internet transport protocol unless the data is encrypted by a solution that has been validated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as conforming to the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) Algorithm.

  • The decision to enter into any such Third-Party Encryption Terms will be at the discretion of the Partner.

  • All data transmissions of PII outside of a secure internal network must be encrypted using a Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 certified algorithm that is 128 bit or higher, such as Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) or Transport Layer Security (TLS).

  • The Partner will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend WhatsApp, its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, sublicensees, contractors and agents from any and all claims, damages, liabilities, costs, demands, losses, penalties, fines, taxes, judgments and expenses (including legal and other professional adviser’s fees and disbursements) arising out of or related to the Partner's breach of any Third-Party Encryption Terms.

  • Any Partner use of the Sublicensed Encryption Software is subject to this Agreement, including the licence and other terms set forth in Paragraphs 2.2 to 2.5 (inclusive) of Annex 3 (Security Requirements).


More Definitions of Encryption

Encryption means use of an algorithmic process to transform data into a form in which the data is rendered unreadable or unusable without use of a confidential process or key.
Encryption means a method by which the true value of data has been disguised in order to prevent the identification of persons or groups, and which does not provide the means for recovering the true value of the data.
Encryption means use of an algorithmic process to transform
Encryption means the use of an algorithmic process to transform data into a form in which there is a low probability of assigning meaning without use of a confidential process or key.
Encryption means the protection of data in electronic or optical form, in storage or in transmission, by using an algorithmic process to transform data into a form in which the data is rendered unreadable or unusable without use of a confidential process or key, such as by using (i) an encryption technology that has been adopted by an established standards setting body, including, but not limited to, the Federal Information Processing Standards issued by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which renders such data indecipherable in the absence of associated cryptographic keys necessary to enable decryptions of such data; and (ii) appropriate management and safeguards of cryptographic keys to protect the integrity of the encryption using guidelines promulgated by an established standards setting body, including, but not limited to, the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
Encryption means a technology or methodology that utilizes an algorithmic process to transform data into a form in which there is a low probability of assigning meaning without use of a confidential process or key, and such confidential process or key that might enable decryption has not been breached, and shall have the meaning given to such term under HIPAA and HIPAA Regulations, including 45 CFR § 164.304.
Encryption is a process of using an algorithm to transform data into coded information in order to protect confidentiality.
