crypté; encrypté : Ces adjectifs prêtent à confusion. En effet, on pourrait comprendre qu'ils sont les antonymes du terme «décrypté», qui est associé aux cas où l'on reconstitue un ensemble de données sans la clé appropriée. Ils ne peuvent toutefois pas jouer ce rôle parce qu'ils seraient alors associés à la transformation d'un ensemble de données en un cryptogramme sans clé appropriée, ce qui est impossible (la transformation d'un ensemble de données en un cryptogramme nécessite l'utilisation d'une clé appropriée). 5, record 2, French, - chiffr%C3%A9
