Detailed explanation-1: -In computing, unencrypted data is also known as plaintext, and encrypted data is called ciphertext. The formulas used to encode and decode messages are called encryption algorithms, or ciphers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Encryption converts data into scrambled text. The unreadable text can only be decoded with a secret key. The secret key is a number that’s: Created on your device and the device you message.
Detailed explanation-3: -The algorithm or method used to encipher the original message (known as the plaintext).
Detailed explanation-4: -Until modern times, cryptography referred almost exclusively to “encryption", which is the process of converting ordinary information (called plaintext) into an unintelligible form (called ciphertext). Decryption is the reverse, in other words, moving from the unintelligible ciphertext back to plaintext.
