# Encryption
[Encryption](https://www.ietf.org/archive/id/draft-ietf-openpgp-crypto-refresh-12.html#name-confidentiality-via-encrypt) is one of the core facilities of OpenPGP. It provides confidentiality.

The main difference between these lies in the symmetric part of the encryption mechanism, represented by versions 1 and 2 of the *Symmetrically Encrypted and Integrity Protected Data* packets (abbreviated as "SEIPD"). The two versions use different mechanisms to provide non-malleability. More on these below.
Older, legacy encryption mechanisms exist in OpenPGP. However, those must not be used for encryption anymore. Messages encrypted using these legacy mechanisms may still be decrypted, although with caution. For more information, see the [decryption](decryption_chapter) chapter.

SEIPD packets are used in combination with two mechanisms that store *session keys*:
