Wow, I would not even know where to begin. Well, to put it simply:

en?crypt (n-krpt)
v. tr. en?crypt?ed, en?crypt?ing, en?crypts.

Is a process to encode or cipher text,binary files, etc... to prevent unauthorized access.

en?code (n-kd)
tr.v. encod?ed, encod?ing, encodes

Is the process of coding that text, binary file or whatever into a standard format.
