Rating:

The Conventional encryption was the only encryption available before the introduction of public key encryption. It is also called symmetric encryption or single key encryption. A conventional encryption scheme has five stages:

• Plain Text: It is the original message.
• Encryption Algorithm: It performs different transformations on the plain text.
• Secret Key: It is input to encryption algorithm.
• Cipher Text: It is the scrambled message as an output.
• Decryption Algorithm: It performs on cipher text and gives the original message as an output.
