Plaintext
From Wiki @ Karl Jones dot com
In cryptography, plaintext is information a sender wishes to transmit to a receiver.
Description
Plaintext has reference to the operation of cryptographic algorithms, usually encryption algorithms, and is the input upon which they operate.
Cleartext, by contrast, refers to data that is transmitted or stored unencrypted (that is, 'in the clear').
