Encryption is the process of converting digital information into a code or cipher to protect its confidentiality and prevent unauthorized access. This makes the content unreadable unless viewed with a valid key or authorized hardware device. Copy protection is a form of digital rights management (DRM) that prevents unauthorized duplication of digital content, but it does not necessarily make the content unreadable. A digital watermark is a form of copyright protection that identifies who owns the digital content, but it does not necessarily make the content unreadable.
