information coding


Explanation:
Not only "data" an information could report. So, I think the general term is better.

encoding


Explanation:
I think "encoding" is preferable because "coding" has senses other than "codificación"; it can refer to tagging or labelling with codes, for example.

encription?


Explanation:
I am not familiar with computer technology but communication signals can be encripted and if that is the context of the message than maybe encription can be used for the spanish word for "codificar" o "codificado". I keep thinking false cognitives on this one and do not like codification as an english word.
