A cryptosystem is a framework that utilizes cryptographic algorithms for securing information through techniques such as encryption and decryption. It enables the protection, authentication, and integrity of data by transforming readable data (plaintext) into an unreadable format (ciphertext) using a cryptographic key and a specific algorithm. The main components of a cryptosystem typically include: 1. **Plaintext**: The original readable data that needs to be protected.
