Intermodal transport (or intermodal transportation) involves the use of more than one mode of transport for a journey. See: Intermodal passenger transport; Intermodal freight transport
Encryption algorithms At the heart of every encrypted application is the algorithm, the math that scrambles and unscrambles data. In a nutshell, an encryption algorithm is a function which takes a string of data bytes and returns a new dataset containing unintelligible content. The same algorithm is used to decrypt data, which means encrypted data goes in from one side and the original data comes out the other.
1 Because RSA encryption is a deterministic encryption algorithm (i.e., has no random component) an attacker can successfully launch a chosen plaintext attack against the cryptosystem, by encrypting likely plaintexts under the public key and test if they are equal to the ciphertext.
