Wikipedia definition
2. Encryption​In cryptography, encryption is the process of transforming information (referred to as plaintext) using an algorithm 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). The reverse process, i.e. , to make the encrypted information readable again, is referred to as decryption (i.e. , to make it unencrypted).
