An encryption algorithm transforms plain text into:

• Cipher text

• Simple Text

• Empty Text

• Plain Text

The _______ is a number or a set of numbers on which the cipher operates.

• secret

• cipher

• key

• none of the mentioned

The art and science of breaking the cipher text is known as

• Cryptanalysis

• Cryptography

• Staganography

• Watermarking

A method for determining a solution to a problem by sequentially testing all possible solutions.

• brute force

• relative frequency

• cipher

• paired keys

What is encryption?

• When you put data / text into code making it difficult to read or understand.
• A secret or disguised way of writing; a code.
• A formal language designed to communicate instructions to a machine
• What is put in, taken in, or operated on by any process or system.

The process of converting a ciphertext into plaintext.

• encryption

• decryption

• plaintext

• cryptography

When a single plaintext letter is encoded by a single ciphertext letter repeated throughout the sentence it is a:

• Monoalphabetic Cipher

• Polyalphabetic Cipher

Cipher based on substitution, using multiple substitution alphabets is called:

• Polyalphabetic cipher

• Monoalphabetic cipher

• Polycipher

• Monocipher
