Encryption Extension:
Encryption is a way of scrambling data so that only authorized parties can understand the
information. In technical terms, it is the process of converting human-readable plaintext to
incomprehensible text, also known as ciphertext.

In simpler terms, encryption takes readable data and alters it so that it appears random.
Encryption requires the use of a cryptographic key: a set of mathematical values that both
the sender and the recipient of an encrypted message agree on.
