undecoded
Not yet deciphered
Undecoded describes something that remains in coded or encrypted form, not yet converted to readable or understandable content.
An undecoded message hasn't been deciphered; undecoded signals await interpretation.
The term applies to cryptography, linguistics, and any system where information requires translation: The undecoded inscriptions still puzzle archaeologists.
