I think what the last sentence is saying by "and increase the operative information content" is that if you're comparing disparate systems' information content, but all you have is ciphertext and the keys but not the encryption algorithm, then it's as if the systems have a lot more information than the plaintext would have. Yes?

Yes that’s essentially my understanding. In many types of information they don’t yet have the keys either, but they can usually observe the function (perhaps several layers removed), and often delete things and view the consequences.
