Note that it leaves the word entropy in one of it's cryptographic meaning (by the way I did not know of the cryptographic definition, only of the physical definition in the first place).
 
DBN:  For those interested, the cryptographic definition of entropy is derived from Information Theory, specifically two papers by Shannon:  C.E.Shannon: A mathematical theory of communications. Bell Systems Journal, 27:379-423, 623-656, 1948 and C.E. Shannon: Communications theory of secrecy systems. Bell Systems Journal, 28:656-715, 1949.
 
DBN: Cryptographic entropy is also discussed in most cryptography texts, e.g. B. Schneier: Applied Cryptography, 2nd Ed., 233-237, 1996.
