Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Cryptography means
A
Encrypt algorithm
B
Decrypt algorithm
C
Plaintext into ciphers text
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In cryptography, plaintext is usually ordinary readable text before it is encrypted into ciphertext, or readable text after it is decrypted.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plaintext is what encryption algorithms, or ciphers, transform an encrypted message into. It is any readable data-including binary files-in a form that can be seen or utilized without the need for a decryption key or decryption device.

Detailed explanation-3: -What is a cipher? In cryptology, the discipline concerned with the study of cryptographic algorithms, a cipher is an algorithm for encrypting and decrypting data. Symmetric key encryption, also called secret key encryption, depends on the use of ciphers, which operate symmetrically.
