Encryption

Encryption transforms plaintext or readable data into ciphertext using cryptographic techniques. This makes sure that the original data is rendered incomprehensible and protected from unauthorized access while being sent or stored. The procedure can be reversed and the original data can be retrieved only by authorized persons who have the corresponding decryption key.

Ether

The Ethereum blockchain's native coin, Ether (ETH), is used to power transactions and smart contracts on the system. It serves as a financial incentive for miners to verify transactions by being used to pay for computational services and transaction fees.
