encraption

It's the same as encryption, except it is in a case where the act of encryption the data does not actually protect anything, but instead prevents people interested in said harmless data from decoding / seeing it. A good example is a case where a satellite signal is enrypted, despite all data being public a few minutes later online.

It is a marge of the word "encryption" and "crap", to reflect the negative effects of said encryption.

As far as it is known, this word was first used by UHF-Satcom, and has stuck in the amateur satellite / radioamateur community since then,

SpaceX enabled encraption on Falcon-9's video dowlink.
