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,

dead drop
A dead drop is a location used to secretly pass items between two people, without requiring them to meet.
Spies have been known to use dead drops, using various techniques to hide the items and to signal that the drop has been made. Drug dealers use this as well.
A common place is to duct tape the item to the underside of a toilet cover in a public restroom.
A signal is sometimes used as well to indicate there is something to pickup, like a pile of stones in a certain formation. After checking the drop the signal is removed.
