Exactly like an envelope protects mail.
Electronic communications pass through many hands and systems and is vulnerable at each point. Encryption stops the casual snoop, just as an envelope does.
It has a weakness in the encryption algorithm. As result it can be hacked withing minutes.
PGP stands for Pretty Good Privacy. It's a data encryption and decryption computer program that provides authentication for data communication and cryptographic privacy.

There are a number of methods that are said to be good for database encryption. Some of the best rated options include GNU Privacy Guard, Disk Utility, TrueCrypt, 7-Zip and AxCrypt.
One of the most popular programs is PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) This uses a private key and a public one. Of course any encryption can be broken given enough time.
Phil Zimmermann created the first version of PGP encryption in 1991. Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) is a data encryption and decryption computer program that provides cryptographic privacy and authentication for data communication. PGP is often used for signing, encrypting and decrypting texts, E-mails, files, directories and whole disk partitions to increase the security of e-mail communications.

The Shutterfly privacy policy outlines how user data and personal information are protected, including measures such as encryption, secure storage, and limited access to data.
Depending on who you have a wireless internet connection service there are several levels of security. One level of privacy is the wireless systems ability to use one of several different frequencies to supply the service. Another level of privacy is the range of signal i.e. fast speed but short range or slow speed but long range. A third level of privacy is the strength of encryption of the signal between the modem and the service provider and some ISPs use the same level of encryption as major banks use for international financial transfers
