Encryption

Encryption is the process of transforming plaintext into ciphertext to conceal the data's original format and meaning to prevent it from being read without a specific predefined decryption key(s).

Example

We will encrypt our name "OpReady" using a 128-bit key and the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. 

128-bit Key: 2r4u7x!A%D*G-KaP

Plaintext to encrypt: OpReady

Algorithm: AES

Encrypted ciphertext: U9t3I8T6JA==
