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 the difference between decryption and encryption?

encryption is the process of transforming information (referred to as plaintext) using an algorithm (called cipher) to make it unreadable to anyone except those possessing special knowledge, usually referred to as a key. The result of the process is encrypted information (in cryptography, referred to as ciphertext).In many contexts, the word encryption also implicit encryption is the process of transforming informationWhereas decryption is the process of changing the encrypted text back into plaintext


What is conclusion of encryption?

Is a process of converting plaintext into ciphertext to prevent unauthorized access?

The process of converting plaintext into ciphertext is called encryption.Once encrypted, only trusted recipients (those who have a copy of the public encryption key) can revert the process and recover the plain text.A related process is called authentication. It is used by the trusted recipient to ensure that the plain text was recovered correctly, since the wrong key will seemingly successfully decrypt the cypher into meaningless data.Encryption and authentication are almost always used together.

What is a secure encryption?

This is usually accomplished using a secret Encryption Key and a cryptographic Cipher.


If you forget your password can you get it back?

Generally speaking, no. The way secure websites and programs store passwords is in a hash, not plaintext. When you submit your password, the password you give is encrypted and compared to the stored password hash you originally gave. Since the encryption cannot be undone, your original password cannot be provided to you.


How do you convert plaintext to ciphertext?

with a convertor :P


How do you get original password using password reset page link?

You don't; most sites will not give you your old password, for two reasons: 1. If you forgot it once, you are likely to forget it again. 2. They don't have it. When you give a computer, program, or website a password, they do not store it in plaintext. It is encrypted using one of various algorithms. You can't usually unencrypt the password. Instead, whenever you log in, they encrypt the password you give and see if it matches the stored encrypted password.
