How is it different from just having a symbol representing a letter in the alphabet for encrypted letters, or is that what it is?
Is computer encryption different from "encrypted" messages? (Probably using wrong terminology.

Explanations, books, resources etc, would be appreciated, and yes I did google and wiki, just don't understand it.

TL; DR: duh fuck is encryption?
