Also called “cryptographic algorithm.” A sequence of mathematical instructions used for transforming unencrypted text or data to encrypted text or data, and back again. See Strong Cryptography.

A mathematically based function or calculation that encrypts/decrypts data

In cryptography, a set of mathematically expressed processes for rendering information into apparently meaningless form by developing a series of transformations to the normal representation of the information through the use of variable elements controlled by the use of a key.
