Anyone want to explain the etymology? Potting doesn't make the device look more like a pot, so where did it get this name? Pdebonte ( talk) 17:31, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
I have seen some circuits potted to prevent tampering. An example was a PC parallel port hardware dongle from Eshed Robotec that enabled their robotics control software to operate on a DOS PC. I opened one up and found the board completely encased in a block of white epoxy. To me the potting was there to prevent someone from copying the hardware key. There were no extreme environments present because those robotics systems were primarily installed in educational facilities. 24.186.141.163 ( talk) 19:42, 25 February 2011 (UTC)
The internet protocol suite uses encapsulation to provide abstraction of protocols and services. 219.151.148.88 ( talk) 09:30, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
