krüpteeri

Krüpteeri is a term that originates from the Estonian language, where it refers to the act of encrypting or encoding information in a way that only authorized parties can access it. The term is derived from the word "krüpt", which means "secret" or "hidden", and "teeri", which means "to do" or "to perform". In the context of information technology, krüpteeri specifically refers to the process of converting readable data, known as plaintext, into an unreadable format, known as ciphertext, using a specific algorithm and a key. This process ensures that the data remains confidential and secure during transmission or storage. Krüpteeri is a fundamental concept in cybersecurity and is used to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access or tampering. It is widely employed in various applications, including secure communication, data encryption, and digital signatures. The process of krüpteeri can be reversed through a process known as dekrüpteeri, which requires the use of the same key or a corresponding decryption key.
