encrypter
Message concealment tool
An encrypter is a person or device that encrypts—converts data into coded form to prevent unauthorized access.
Software that scrambles files, hardware that secures communications, or the technician who sets up such systems can all be called an encrypter: The encrypter protects sensitive data before transmission.
Also spelled encryptor.
