Answer / prince
ciphertext (or cyphertext) is the result of encryption
performed on plaintext using an algorithm, called a cipher.
[1] Ciphertext is also known as encrypted or encoded
information because it contains a form of the original
plaintext that is unreadable by a human or computer without
the proper cipher to decrypt it. Decryption, the inverse of
encryption, is the process of turning ciphertext into
readable plaintext. Ciphertext is not to be confused with
codetext because the latter is a result of a Code, not a
cipher.
