| (I) Data in which the semantic information content (i.e., the
meaning) is intelligible or is directly available. (See:
plaintext.)
(O) "Intelligible data, the semantic content of which is
available." [I7498 Part 2]
(D) ISDs SHOULD NOT use this term as a synonym for "plaintext",
the input to an encryption operation, because the plaintext input
to encryption may itself be ciphertext that was output from
another operation. (See: superencryption.)
