In cryptography, a cipher is an algorithm used for encrypting and decrypting information. It transforms plaintext (readable data) into ciphertext (encoded data) to protect the information from unauthorized access. Ciphers can be classified into symmetric and asymmetric types, depending on whether the same key is used for both encryption and decryption or different keys are utilized.
