Basically industrial and military cryptography should follow same rules but what makes it difference between these two, higher key length, unknown protocols to civil or isolated transferring media.
Or fundamentally there are other differences that make this encryption safer?

For the most part if someone tries to sell you "military grade" encryption, run. It's a sure sign that they don't know what they're talking about.

What makes you think that military grade encryption is better? That's not how the military works - popularmechanics.com/military/weapons/a19061/….

@PaulUszakI don't mean better I think it should be safer due to the nature of it.

The main difference between industrial and military cryptography is the key-length, or difficulty in decryption in general.
Everybody should rely on Kerckhoffs's principle, which states:
A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system, except the key, is public knowledge.
You should never rely on secret algorithms because it would need only one person (i.e. a spy) who can reveal the secret algorithm to the enemy.
In the past, the military often used Steganography to communicate in secret, but as far as we know this trend has come to an end by using reliable cryptography.
One option for today's military security may also be secure channels because they can establish a separate infrastructure that isn't available to the public, but even this isn't used in a large scale.
TL;DR
The term "military grade encryption" is often just thrown around in movies, but usually, there's no difference because in the end, everyone relies on Kerckhoffs's principle by using known cryptosystems with large keys.
