Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Cryptography is the process of converting between readable text, called plaintext, and an unreadable form, called ciphertext . This occurs as follows: The sender converts the plaintext message to ciphertext. This part of the process is called encryption (sometimes encipherment ).
Detailed explanation-2: -The encryption algorithm takes two inputs-the plaintext and a key-and produces one output, the ciphertext. A key is a secret that determines the output of the encryption algorithm; different keys will produce different ciphertexts.
