Being able to recognize different encoding schemes can be an asset when trying to find hidden information. However, encoding isn’t the most secure way to code a message. If a person recognizes the encoding scheme, all they have to do is go to the lookup table to decode it.

Whereas, encryption involves altering the content of the message and must be decrypted using a secret key to reverse the process. Encryption is a more secure way to code a message. Encryption takes a key known by the encoder and uses that key to change the message. Then, only the people that know the key will be able to decrypt the message. The simplest form of encryption is a Caesar Cypher. For the example above, a Caesar Cypher shift +1 would shift each letter in the message up by one character.
