I have had a good look to see what this could mean. It is not my area really, but I thought I would at least reply.

Has this been written by a native English speaker, and is this the only example in your text or are there others. For example, do you have "translation key" appearing in a full sentence anywhere in your text?

Sorry I cannot be of further assistance.

A "key" can also be a list of symbols which equate to a word.

A "key" can also be a means of access.

"Encryption key"??

[0032] Server 13 stores all drug labeling information in database 17, which is secured as well. For example, the data stored in the database 17 may be stored in encrypted form, and therefore not accessible to even the database operators without the encryption key that is managed by the drug manufacturer. Server 13 may store drug labeling information from multiple drug manufacturers, such as those represented by server l la and server 1 Ib. Each record in the database is associated with a unique address that

Methods of Encrypting Data

Traditionally, several methods can be used to encrypt data streams, all of which can easily be implemented through software, but not so easily decrypted when either the original or its encrypted data stream are unavailable. (When both source and encrypted data are available, code-breaking becomes much simpler, though it is not necessarily easy). The best encryption methods have little effect on system performance, and may contain other benefits (such as data compression) built in. The well-known 'PKZIP®' utility offers both compression AND data encryption in this manner. Also DBMS packages have often included some kind of encryption scheme so that a standard 'file copy' cannot be used to read sensitive information that might otherwise require some kind of password to access. They also need 'high performance' methods to encode and decode the data.

Fortunately, the simplest of all of the methods, the 'translation table', meets this need very well. Each 'chunk' of data (usually 1 byte) is used as an offset within a 'translation table', and the resulting 'translated' value from within the table is then written into the output stream. The encryption and decryption programs would each use a table that translates to and from the encrypted data. In fact, the 80x86 CPU's even have an instruction 'XLAT' that lends itself to this purpose at the hardware level. While this method is very simple and fast, the down side is that once the translation table is known, the code is broken. Further, such a method is relatively straightforward for code breakers to decipher - such code methods have been used for years, even before the advent of the computer. Still, for general "unreadability" of encoded data, without adverse effects on performance, the 'translation table' method lends itself well.

Good luck!

SecureZIP lets you select the files you want to compress, then also gives you the option of encrypting those files. You can encrypt the files with a passphrase or create a key. You can select a local key or a server-based key. Passphrases protect files using AES or 3DES algorithms, with security using the RSA BSAFE algorithm. The upshot to that approach is that you can use certificate-based encryption and digital signatures, and combine that with ZIP compression.
