What is an Encryption And Decryption
#3
encryption is a method for transforming data into a secret form, using a secret key, that no one else can figure out unless they have the secret key and the decryption method. decryption is a method for transforming data from a secret form, using the same secret key used to encrypt it, back to its original form.

there is a type of encryption/decryption that uses two keys which are related to each other (and calculated together), one for encryption, the other for decryption.

to get started, don't worry if someone else can figure out your method and decrypt your data without being given the secret key.  you will need to worry about that later, when your method is to actually be used.
