Venus,
As someone who works in the Cryptography space, I have to say I have never heard of it. Can you give us some any more information? Such as where you heard this term? Any context would help.
Thanks,
Fire Ant

Venus,
Your last post makes no sense to me. Can I ask why you want to know what MC encryption is?

Venus,
Again, can I ask why you want to know? You have pointed me at two links with no context what so ever.
Again, if you read the text MC = Main Case
Quote: |
The nibble value is fixed by the interval [0, 15], so that we conclude that we have 16 levels of a priority, each one represents one main case (MC) out of 16. |
MC doesn't mean any specific is both your cases.

The "MC" mentioned in the paper you linked is not an encryption algorithm. As Fire Ant said, it is simply a name for a specific value used in the calculation of the broader algorithm they're describing.
In this paper, MC stands for Main Case; it is just a name to describe the 16 possible values which can exist in a nibble (half a byte). They describe a formula through which they calculate the Main Case, from the original byte color. The MC is simply an auxiliary result of an auxiliary function used within a more complex steganography algorithm. It's just a name for a value; they could have called it Banana Airplane or Pink Elephant.
As for the MC' and MC₁, MC₂ and so on... this is simply standard mathematical notation. The subscript numbers indicate an index or different instances of the variable for different cases; if you read page 225, they define MC and the notation they use with it. As for the single quote, again that's standard notation to mean an alternative value of a variable (e.g. where h is my height and h' is yours).
