The process of scrambling data to make it unreadable to those without a secret key.
A
cryptography
B
cyphertext
C
decryption
D
encryption
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Encryption is a process of scrambling data into unreadable code called ciphertext. Its purpose is to conceal the data until the intended recipient receives it. Data encryption requires a string of text to convert plain text into ciphertext called a key.

Detailed explanation-2: -Encryption is the process of scrambling data to make it unreadable to anyone who does not possess the proper key to unscramble it.

Detailed explanation-3: -In computing, unencrypted data is also known as plaintext, and encrypted data is called ciphertext.

Detailed explanation-4: -Using cryptography, you can transform written words and other kinds of messages so that they are unintelligible to anyone who does not possess a specific mathematical key necessary to unlock the message. The process of using cryptography to scramble a message is called encryption.

Detailed explanation-5: -Encryption is the process of transforming readable text or data, called plaintext, into unreadable code called ciphertext. After the data is transformed, it is said to be encrypted. The reverse transformation process from ciphertext to plaintext is called decryption.
