There are diverse ways to encrypt information (convert it to cyphertext); how a text will look in cyphertext will depend on the method chosen, as well as the specific keys.

What is Plaintext?
Plaintext is easily readable or, to be more accurate, decrypted/unencrypted text. This is opposed to ciphertext, which is encrypted. If you used an encryption algorithm to encode your message of "Hello, there" to "4hgu28fhdjf83291". The plaintext form would be: "Hello, there" The ciphertext form would be: "4hgu28fhdjf83291"
What is key of hill cipher if we have plain text and cipher text?
Assume Plaintext = P, Ciphertext = C, and the Key = K. C = P * K Therefore, multiply both sides by the inverse of P and you will get: C * P^(-1) = K Or, (ciphertext) * (inverse plaintext) = key If the size of the key is known as well, then use that same size when creating P and C matrices.
Briefly define the monoalpabetic cipher?
A monoalphabetic cipher uses fixed substitution over the entire message, whereas a polyalphabetic cipher uses a number of substitutions at different positions in the message, where a unit from the plaintext is mapped to one of several possibilities in the ciphertext and vice versa.
What are2 examples of data encryption methods?
cryptography, encryption is the process of transforming information (referred to as plaintext) using an algorithm (called a cipher) to make it unreadable to anyone except those possessing special knowledge, usually referred to as a key. The result of the process is information (in cryptography, referred to as ciphertext). The reverse process, i.e., to make the encrypted information readable again, is referred to as decryption (i.e., to make it unencrypted).

How do you convert plaintext to ciphertext?
with a convertor :P
What is the difference between diffusion and confusion?
In diffusion, the statistical structure of the plaintext is dissipated into long-range statistics of the ciphertext. This is achieved by having each plaintext digit affect the value of many ciphertext digits, which is equivalent to saying that each ciphertext digit is affected by many plaintext digits. Confusion seeks to make the relationship between the statistics of the ciphertext and the value of the encryption key as complex as possible, again to thwart attempts to discover the key. Thus, even if the attacker can get some handle on the statistics of the ciphertext, the way in which the key was used to produce that ciphertext is so complex as to make it difficult to deduce the key. This is achieved by the use of a complex substitution algorithm.
What is an encrypted message called?
Ciphertext is another name for Encrypted
Converting plaintext into ciphertext is called what?
Encoding, encipherment or encryption.
Programmed formula that is used to decrypt ciphertext?
An encryption key
Could the ciphertext JOHN A1 be a valid ciphertext for the plaintext JOSE C1?
Of course it COULD be. Even a simple substitution cipher could be used to generate the given ciphertext from the given plaintext since they both have the same number of characters. Whether or not it actually IS a valid ciphertext depends on the algorithm used to encrypt it.
This is another word for code and is a way to transform text in order to concel meaning?
In information security, another word for code or encoded text is ciphertext. Ciphertext is the end result of encoding of plain text.
Another word for code and is a way to transform text in order to conceal meaning?
Ciphertext is the other word for code or encoded text in information security. Ciphertext is the product when an algorithm is used to encode plain text.

What computer networking term defines the result of data encryption?
