Cryptography –
1.Plain text –
• The original message are called plain text .
• Plain text is human readable or understandable like
English statements, java code, Php scripted code etc
• E.g.
Plain text= Java is pure virtual language.
2.Cipher text –
• It means that original message are converted into code
or encoding or binary format.
• Cipher text is not human understandable.
• E.g.
Cipher text= assgdfgjkl
3.Cryptograph-
• Cryptograph is art of codifying messages, that meassage
is unreadable.
• Cryptograph process of secret writing.
4.Encryption Algorithm –
• The encryption algorithm is the algorithm that performs
various substitution and transformations on the plain
text.
• Encryption is the process of changing plain text to cipher
text.
5.Decryption algorithm-
• The Decryption algorithm is reverse algorithm.
• In decryption changing cipher text into plain text.
6.Key –
• A key is a number(or set of number) that the algorithm
uses to perform encryption and decryption.
7.Cryptoanalysis –
• Transforming cipher text into plain text without
knowledge of the key is called as cryptoanalysis.
• In cryptoanalysis process leaks of information.
• Cryptoanalysis is the art of decipher the encrypted
information without knowing the key used for
encryption.
8.Cryptology-
• It is the combination of cryptography and cryptoanalysis.
Cryptography Key can categorized
1. Symmetric key
2. Asymmetric key
1.Symmetric key(Secret key)-
• The encryption process where same keys are used for
encrypting and decrypting information.
• Symmetric key refers to as Secret Key.
