unenciphered
Readable without decryption
Unenciphered means not converted into code or cipher—left in plain, readable form.
The term appears in cryptography and intelligence contexts: The unenciphered message was intercepted before encryption.
Sensitive information that remains unenciphered is vulnerable to unauthorized reading.
