"Encryption is a process to secure information from unwanted access or use. Encryption uses the
art of cryptography to change information which can be read (plaintext) and make it so that it
cannot be read (ciphertext). Decryption uses the same art of cryptography to change that
ciphertext back to plaintext. Encryption takes five elements to work: plaintexts, keys, encryption
methods, decryption methods, and ciphertexts. Data that are in a state of being stored or in a state
of being sent are eligible for encryption. However, data that are in a state of being processed—
that is being generated, altered, or otherwise used—are unable to be encrypted and remain in
plaintext and vulnerable to unauthorized access..."
