Question

A(n) key is the set of steps used to convert an unencrypted message into an encrypted sequence of bits that represent the message; it sometimes refers to the programs that enable the cryptographic processes. _________________________

Answer 1

Answer:

Algorithm

Explanation:

Cryptography is a process of encrypting data to prevent attackers or man in the middle from seeing the information sent across in a network. It uses algorithms to encrypt and decrypt messages.

There are three ways messages are encrypted, they are synchronous cryptography, asynchronous cryptography and hash cryptography.

Answer 2

Answer:

Algorithm

Explanation:

Algorithm is a set of instructions designed to perform a specific task, an independent sequence of actions to be perform to solve a problem and instruction for performing a computation.

Algorithm is A(n) key set of steps used to convert an unencrypted message into an encrypted sequence of bits that represent the message; it sometimes refers to the programs that enable the cryptographic processes.
