COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

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: -The original message is called the plaintext message. The encrypted message is called the ciphertext message. Digital encryption algorithms work by manipulating the digital content of a plaintext message mathematically, using an encryption algorithm and a digital key to produce a ciphertext version of the message.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Decryption is the process of converting encrypted text to plaintext. Basically, it is the reverse of encryption. It is used to decrypt the ciphertext so that only people who are supposed to access and read the message are the only ones who can.
