Encryption is the process of encoding information into a ciphertext that only authorized parties can decode. Encryption isn't used in the Bitcoin protocol itself, however it can be used e.g. for encrypting wallet backups or peer-to-peer communications.

Multibit security with regards to "backup" folders

As Jim says, MultiBit goes back and encrypts these old backups when you first set a password, but note that it's a different method of encryption from the regular wallet, hence the .cipher extension. … data is: // 7 magic bytes 'mendoza' in ASCII. // 1 byte version number of format - initially set to 0 // 8 bytes salt // 16 bytes iv // rest of file is the encrypted byte data Then there's yet a third encryption
