DEF

An encoder that makes the information to be transmitted unintelligible to a receiver not equipped with an adequate decoding device.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Transmission (Télécommunications)
  • Sécurité des TI
OBS

La terminologie officielle utilise et conseille les termes embrouillage et désembrouillage, plutôt que décryptage, réservé aux services de contre-espionnage. En effet, on ne crypte pas un message, on le chiffre. Le mot décodeur est [...] réservé aux appareils qui convertissent une norme de télévision (donc un système de codage du signal) dans une autre (ex. décodeur D2-MAC).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Transmisión (Telecomunicaciones)
