What is the name given to encrypted data?

A.
Cleartext

B.
Ciphertext

C.
Code

D.
Cryptext

Explanation:

: This is a well-known term used in cryptography, when we talk about “Cipher Text” we are talking
about a text that has been modified by a mathematical function that was applied some kind of key
of a certain length, in other words, a text that has been encrypted. To make Cipher text we take
“Clear text” and we apply to it the mathematical function and the associated key. In symmetric
encryption we only use one key to go from clear to cipher and cipher to clear text. In asymmetric
or public key encryption, we have to use 2 keys, one for encrypt and one for decrypt.
