Encryption is the process of transforming certain data, called a
|
||||
\emph{message}, using, as Aumasson writes in Serious Cryptography, ``an
|
||||
algorithm called a \emph{cipher} and a secret value called the
|
||||
key''~\cite{seriouscryptography}.
|
||||
key''~\cite{seriouscryptography}. Its purpose is to protect the said message so
|
||||
that only its intended recipients that know/hold the key are able to
|
||||
\emph{decipher} and read it.
