The act of altering data to make it unreadable unless you know how to decrypt it.
ISP Glossary:
Encryption - I was under the impression that you cannot be charged to make 800/888/etc calls, under FCC regulations. Is this correct?Sort of. The party you're calling can't put a charge on your bill,like a fake 900 call, but the hotel can rip you off however they want. I used an 800 number to access my long distance company's calling card. I was charged $1.00 for the call to that 800 number. Calls to other 800 numbers were not surcharged. Is this proper?Is it legal? Sure. Is it a way to encourage people to stay at thehotel again? Hardly.Response A: get a more obscure calling card whose 800 number the PBXdoesn't recognize. In my experience, they only recognize numbers frombig telcos like AT&T, MCI, and Sprint, whose calling cards are alloverpriced anyway.Response B: bring your cell phone and use it.Response C (preferred): find a different hotel and send a note toHyatt telling them why they won't be seeing you again any time soon.
