FINALS Flashcards
The process of converting the ciphertext message back into plaintext so that it can be readily understood.
Decryption
a simple substitution cipher in which letters of an original message (plaintext) are substituted by geometric symbols creating a coded message
(ciphertext).
Pigpen Cipher
also known as the shift cipher, is one of the simplest and most widely known encryption techniques. It is a type of substitution cipher in which each letter in the plaintext is replaced by a letter some fixed number of positions down the alphabet.
Caesar Cipher
The science concerned with data communication and storage in secure and usually secret form.
Encompasses cryptography and cryptanalysis.
Cryptology
also known as concealment cipher, is an ancient form of encryption where the plaintext is mixed with a large amount of non-cipher material.
Today it is regarded as a simple form of steganography, which can be used to hide ciphertext.
Null Cipher
An encrypted message without knowing the algorithms and keys used to perform the
encryption.
Ciphertext
Greek words kryptos, meaning “hidden”, and graphien, meaning “to write”.
The process of making and using codes to secure the transmission of information.
Cryptography
a method used in telecommunication to encode text characters as standardized sequences of two different signal durations, called dots and dashes, or dits and dash.
Morse Code
Cryptanalysis is the process of obtaining the original message.
Plaintext
The process of converting an original message into a form that is unreadable to unauthorized individual.
