Q. Cryptography, a word with Greek origins, means
- Corrupting Data
- Secret Writing
- Open Writing
- Closed Writing
Answer: Secret Writing
Cryptography is associated with the process of converting ordinary plain text into unintelligible text and vice-versa.In cryptography, encryption is the process of encoding a message or information in such a way that only authorized parties can access it and those who are not authorized cannot. Encryption does not itself prevent interference but denies the intelligible content to a would-be interceptor. In an encryption scheme, the intended information or message, referred to as plaintext, is encrypted using an encryption algorithm – a cipher – generating ciphertext that can be read only if decrypted.
