Encryption key is a block of characters used in combination with an encryption algorithm to encrypt or decrypt a stream or block of data. Encryption is the process of hiding sensitive information in plain sight and works by scrambling the characters in a message using a technique known only to the sender and receiver thereby rendering the message unintelligible to anyone who intercepts the message. This information hiding mechanism is achieved through encryption keys.
