    Encryption is the conversion of data into "ciphertext " which cannot be easily understood by other people. It is used during wars to keep the enemies away from obtaining the contents of their transmissions. In order to get the encrypted codes and signals back, You need to have what they call "decryption key" to undo the encryption algorithm. The stronger the cipher, the harder it will be broken down by unauthorized access of others.
