To use so bad encryption that a bored individual could break it.
Secure messaging software called "Cryptocat" used to have so bad encryption that they started calling it encraption.

To hide, unlink or obfuscate data in order to protect it.
Are you going to encrypt the bank details with DES?
Nah, I'll just use bit-shifting
Sounds like encraption to me

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.

Presumably mistakenly used though admittedly implemented when you have the shits with encription not to mention subscription corruption in general. You read that? Ithought it wasn't mentioned.
