Cryptography - The art and study of encryption and concealing messages, Encryption - The process of making data unreadable by other humans or computers for the purpose of preventing others from gaining access to its contents., Code - In communications and information processing, code is a system of rules to convert information—such as a letter, word, sound, image, or gesture—into another form, sometimes shortened or secret, for communication through a communication channel or storage in a storage medium., Plaintext - In cryptography, plaintext usually means unencrypted information pending input into cryptographic algorithms, usually encryption algorithms. This usually refers to data that is transmitted or stored unencrypted, Ciphertext - In cryptography, ciphertext or cyphertext is the result of encryption performed on plaintext using an algorithm, called a cipher., Cybersecurity - The protection of computer systems and networks from information disclosure, theft of or damage to their hardware, software, or electronic data, as well as from the disruption or misdirection of the services they provide., Encode - The process of encoding converts information from a source into symbols for communication or storage., Decode - The reverse process, converting code symbols back into a form that the recipient understands, such as English, Spanish, French, etc., Cipher - An algorithm for performing encryption or decryption—a series of well-defined steps that can be followed as a procedure., Key - What is used to encrypt data from plaintext to ciphertext. A key is a piece of information, usually a string of numbers or letters that are stored in a file, which, when processed through a cryptographic algorithm, can encode or decode cryptographic data. Based on the used method, the key can be different sizes and varieties, but in all cases, the strength of the encryption relies on the security of the key being maintained., Asymmetric encryption - has separate keys for encrypting and decrypting. These keys are known as the public and private keys, respectively., Symmetric encryption - refers to the practice of the same key being used for both encryption and decryption., Algorithm - A list of instructions, procedures, or formula that solves a problem or produces a result. For example, for an encryption algorithm you follow the steps to create ciphertext.,
