REASONING Notes: Coding-Decoding
Coding Decoding
In any communication(verbal or nonverbal), there are always two parties i.e. Sender (The one who wants to send the data) and Receiver(one who receives the data). We always want to send our data securely. For this purpose, we use the mechanism of coding and decoding so that the third party (other than the sender and receiver) can never understand the communication of both the parties.
Coding means transforming the original data into an encrypted form which follows a certain pattern.Coding is also known as encryption.
Decoding means converting the coded data into an original form. It is also known as Decryption.
The coding and decoding test is setup to determine the ability of a candidate that he is capable to decipher any code or message.
