Ciphertext is the result of encryption, which is the process of converting plaintext (readable data) into an unreadable format to protect the information from unauthorized access. Ciphertext appears as random characters or sequences of symbols and is typically the output of encryption algorithms. Only someone with the appropriate key or means to decrypt the ciphertext can convert it back into its original plaintext form. This process is fundamental in ensuring data confidentiality and security in various applications, such as secure communications, data storage, and online transactions.
