Data

The data is the information to be encrypted. This data could be text from an e-mail, text and numbers from a credit card transaction, user name and password combinations, music, graphics, videos, or voice conversations. Data arriving to be encrypted might possibly have already been encrypted one or more times in earlier processes. If cipher text is the result of three encryptions, then it must be deciphered three times in the correct order with the appropriate key(s).
