exponentiated to (e) (eの)累乗 Explanation: I believe this is describing a method of encrypting messages. Many public-key encryption methods exponentiate (raise to a power) the message during encryption. It's important to realize that the message is being rendered as a number. (For example, concatenating ASCII values of the characters in the message.) It does not make sense to exponentiate normal words or letters. For example, RSA encryption may be described as: c: encrypted message m: unencrypted message e: encryption exponent n: encryption modulus (part of the public key) c = (m^e) mod n I've attached web refrences for a description of RSA encryption. I'm not sure if it's similar to the encryption being used in your source, but it is a fairly common method.
