The decryption key performs the inverse or undo operation, which was applied by the encryption key.

Encryption failed please check your PGP setup and the key rings.

Now the reason we say that these are symmetric ciphers is that both the encrypter and decrypter actually use the same key K. As we'll see later in the course, there are ciphers where the encrypter uses one key and the decrypter uses a different key.

To denote the key inputs and the decryption algorithm outputs the original plaintext message.

Just given the ciphertext the attack that can recover the decryption key and therefore recover the original plaintext.

As you may recall, encryption is a mapping from some message, using a specific key, to a cyphertext message.

So if an attacker knows how our encryption scheme works, he can easily decrypt the message.
