Encoded and encrypted file extension list
File types used by crypt applications to store data in encoded or encrypted state.
Encoded or encrypted file stores passwords or any data protected by encryption algorithms. To open encoded or encrypted file, it must be decoded or decrypted first by using original encryption software or password.
Unencrypted data is called plain text and encrypted data is called cipher text. Encryption is the most effective way to achieve data security.
Encryption software is used to encryption and decryption of data, usually in the form of files on hard drives, removable media, email messages, or in the form of packets sent over computer networks.
There are two most used types of encryption: asymmetric encryption (public-key encryption) and symmetric encryption. Asymmetric encryption is uses one key to encrypt a message and another to decrypt the message. Symmetric encryption uses the same key to encrypt and decrypt the message.
Some of the most used encryption algorithms are Rijndael, Serpent, Twofish, RC6, MARS etc.
