It's a method of 'scrambling' computer information (especially over the internet) so that it can't be read by anyone other than the person it was intended for. One example would be Internet banking - When you log-on to your bank account via the internet, it's connected via an encrypted server (which is why you see the little padlock in the status bar) - this means that any information passing from you to the bank (and vice versa) cannot be intercepted by anyone.
In simple terms, the network scrambles the data, sending it in 'blocks' and adds 'nonsense characters' so that if anyone did hack the connection - all they'd see was a page of gibberish.
