- N-gram model: The N-gram model is a sequence of n items from a given sequence of phonemes, syllables, letters, words or base pairs [2].
- One-time pad: The one-time pad is a decoder technology which cannot be cracked if the correct key is used [3].
- Initialism: A group of letters formed using the initial letters of a group of words or a phrase [4].
- Ciphertext: The encoded format of a message [5].
- Plaintext: The information of an original message, which is desired to be deciphered from the ciphertext </ref>.
