-**Cyphertext** is encrypted text transformed from **plaintext** using an [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:cryptographic_algorithm]]. Ciphertext can't be read until it has been converted into  plaintext (using [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:d:decryption]]) with a key. The decryption cipher is an algorithm that transforms the ciphertext back into plaintext.
-The term cipher is sometimes used as a synonym for ciphertext. However, it refers to the method of encryption rather than the result.
