SOME CONCEPTS IN CRYPTOGRAPHY

Plaintext:

In cryptography, plaintext is the original, readable version of a

message before it is encrypted into ciphertext. The plaintext is

used in the unencrypted data as either an input for the

encryption process or an output for the decryption process. It

refers to everything that a human may understand with their

bare eyes.

Ciphertext:

The encoded text is called the ciphertext. It is an

unreadable output. It is the result of encrypting plaintext

using a cipher, which is a set of algorithms that transforms


data into an unrecognizable form. Ciphertext is also known as

encrypted or encoded information.
