encodes
Converts to cipher
Encodes means to convert information into a particular form or system.
A spy encodes a message so only intended recipients can read it.
DNA encodes genetic instructions.
In computing, data is encoded in formats computers can process: The file encodes video in MP4 format.
More broadly, anything that represents meaning through a system of signs encodes: Body language encodes social signals we interpret unconsciously.
