Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Decryption is the process of converting ciphertext back into its original form, which is plaintext. Encryption is the process of converting plaintext into ciphertext, not the reverse. A firewall is a network security device that monitors and filters incoming and outgoing network traffic based on an organization's previously established security policies. An encoder converts data from one form to another and does not specifically refer to the process of converting ciphertext back to plaintext.
