I&#x27;m also wary of calling it encryption. But I don&#x27;t think &quot;obfuscation&quot; or &quot;hashing&quot; are correct either.<p>The intent is the same as encryption - to keep the real location a secret, available only to people with the key.<p>It feels different because the encrypted value is basically an offset, and it&#x27;s continuous, so it feels almost the same as the unencrypted form.
