Cryptography - Input Data (plain text | clear text | message)

About

Plain text is a text that you want to send.

Plain text is also known as

  • Cleartext
  • Usable text
  • Message

Even if its name contains text, the input can be any piece of data:

Operation

Encryption

You can give a message as input to an cipher function (encryption) that outputs a ciphertext

Signature / Data Integrity

You can give a message as input to an cipher function (encryption) that outputs a hash

Cryptography - Encryption (Enciphering)

Encryption is the function of a cipher that transforms usable data into an unreadable form. It provides confidentiality if a secret is used in the encryption. There is two class of encryption. ...

Cryptography - Hash

A hash function is an encryption crypto algorithm that takes as data as input (possibly large and of variable-sized) and produces a short fixed-length integer value (generally printed as an hexadecimal...

Cryptography - Message Digest (checksum|hash) (sha1|md5)

A message digest is the output of hash function (also known as a checksum). The input is known as the message (ie a piece of data: file, payload). It is used to verify that the data has not been altered...
