COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

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: -encryption – the process of converting plaintext to ciphertext (occasionally you may see it called ‘encipherment’) decryption – the process of reverting ciphertext to plaintext (occasionally ‘decipherment’).

Detailed explanation-3: -Encryption is the process of transforming data like readable text (referred to as “plaintext”) using an algorithm (called a “cipher”) to make it unreadable to anyone except those possessing special knowledge, usually referred to as a “key”. The result of the process is encrypted text (referred to as “ciphertext”).
