Encryption of data is like locking up your house. Nobody can access the data, unless they have the "key", or decryption code. It is used for transporting sensitive data, in organizations like the military, so that hackers cannot access the data. Of course, there are ways of "Brute Forcing" the data to decrypt it, which is often used is someone, like a hacker, is trying to access the data.
There are also different "levels" of encryption. Such as:
8-bit
16-bit
32-bit
64-bit
128-bit
And so on....
The higher the level of encryption, the harder the data is to decrypt.

You need to choose stronger encryption and longer encryption key.
Encryption
To decrypt data secured with Asterisk, you typically need access to the original encryption key used during the encryption process. The decryption process involves using the same algorithm and key to reverse the encryption. Depending on the context, you may need specific tools or software that support the encryption method applied by Asterisk. Always ensure that you have the right permissions and legal authority before attempting to decrypt any data.
Identical
There is no simple answer to this question. Each encoding or encryption will have an associated decoding/decryption. In order to figure out the original message you need to at least know how it was encoded. If it was encrypted, then you will likely also need additional information such as encryption keys.
No
Disabling encryption in SFTP is not directly possible, as SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) inherently relies on SSH for secure file transfer, which includes encryption. However, if you need to transfer files without encryption, consider using FTP instead, which does not encrypt data by default. Remember that transferring files without encryption exposes them to potential security risks. Always assess the security implications before proceeding with unencrypted transfers.
People have developed many encryption algorithms. One particular encryption algorithm is the Rijndael algorithm, usually called the AES or Advanced Encryption Standard.

"Evaluating cryptography is difficult since without 'breaking' the encryption its hard to say whether one encryption is better or not. Pretty Good Encryption (PGP) is asymmetric, that is the encryption and decryption keys are different which may give it an edge on symmetric encryption."
Encryption is converting plain text into cipher text . Yes, encryption can be cracked and then the text can be decrypted.
