Cryptography Concepts:

o Network traffic protects, traversing on Internet through cryptographic methods.


o The network term cryptography is a Greek word, which means "Secret Writing".
o Kryptos, means hidden or secret while the Graphein word, means the Writing.
o In Network, Cryptography involves the process of encryption and decryption.
o Cryptography is the study and practice of hiding the data and the information.
o Cryptography is the art, study and science of making the data impossible to read.
o Cryptographic algorithms start with plaintext and scramble to unreadable format.
o Encryption algorithm specify how ciphertext can be decrypted back into plaintext.
o Cryptography is essential part of provide confidentiality, integrity & authentication.
o Cryptography is a way and method to keep the messages and other data secret.
o Caesar cipher encryption algorithm is one of the simplest encryption algorithms.
o In this Caesar algorithm every alphabetical character in the plain text is replaced.

Cryptography Terminologies:
Below are some important terminologies to understand Cryptography.

Plaintext:
o The information in its original form or readable data also known as cleartext.
o Plaintext is a text, in natural readable form; it is the data before it is encrypted.
o In simple words, Plaintext or cleartext is original message, information or data.

Ciphertext:
o An encrypted message is called cipher text, Ciphertext is encrypted text.
o The Ciphertext is unreadable until it has been converted into the plain text.
o Sometimes it has the same size as plaintext, or can be larger than plaintext.
o Cipher text is unreadable by anyone except the intended recipients only.
o Cipher text is scrambled message, information or data produced as output.

Encryption:
o The process of changing the plaintext into ciphertext is called encryption.
o The process of converting plaintext into the ciphertext is called encryption.
o The encryption process is the translation of data or info into a secret code.
o Encryption is two-way function; encrypted can be decrypted with proper key.
o Encryption is a two-way function, that includes encryption and decryption.
o Encryption is the most effective way to achieve data or information security.
o The main idea of encryption is to protect data from an unauthorized person.
o Encryption process needs an algorithm which called a cipher and a secret key.

Decryption:
o The process of changing the ciphertext into the plaintext is called decryption.
o The process of converting cipher text back to the original plaintext is decryption.

Encryption Algorithm:
o Algorithm defines how data is transformed when plaintext data scrambled to ciphertext.
o An encryption algorithm is the method used to transform data into the hidden ciphertext.
o Also known as cipher, algorithms are the rules or instructions for the encryption process.
o Both data sender & the recipient must know the algorithm used for data transformation.
o Recipient should use same algorithm to decrypt ciphertext back into original plaintext data.
Decryption Algorithm:
o It accepts cipher text as input and the matching key and produces the original plain text.
o Decryption algorithms specify data & key encryption algorithms that are used to decrypt.
