When you want to take a secret code and decode it, this is known as____
A
Encryption
B
Decryption
C
Translation
D
Algorithm
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -What is Decryption. Definition: The conversion of encrypted data into its original form is called Decryption. It is generally a reverse process of encryption. It decodes the encrypted information so that an authorized user can only decrypt the data because decryption requires a secret key or password.

Detailed explanation-2: -Decryption is taking encoded or encrypted text or other data and converting it back into text you or the computer can read and understand. This term could describe a method of unencrypting the data manually or unencrypting the data using the proper codes or keys.

Detailed explanation-3: -Encryption is the process by which a readable message is converted to an unreadable form to prevent unauthorized parties from reading it. Decryption is the process of converting an encrypted message back to its original (readable) format. The original message is called the plaintext message.

Detailed explanation-4: -Encryption is translation of data into a secret code called a cipher text. Decryption is the process of decoding data that has been encrypted into a secret format this requires secret code or password. Computer encryption uses the science of cryptography.

Detailed explanation-5: -Decryption Decryption is the process of converting coded text into the original plain text. Encryption Encryption is the process whereby plain text is converted into an encoded (or encrypted) text.
