Encryption & decryption are terms From CRYPTOLOGY. In
hardcore testing it is used for security testing.
Encryption is the process of transforming information using
an algorithm to make it unreadable to anyone except those
possessing special knowledge.
Decryption is the reverse process to make the encrypted
information readable again.
It is used in applications using scecurity process for the
system.Widely used for passcode testing & accounts testing
for credit cards & banking softwares.

Answer / guest
Encryption is the conversion of data into a form, called a
cipher, that cannot be understood by unauthorized people.
Decryption is the process of converting encrypted data back
into its original form, so it can be understood. Encryption
and decryption should not be confused with encoding and
decoding, in which data is converted from one form to
another but is not deliberately altered so as to conceal
its content.
