The gloss "plain code" has been copied from dictionary to dictionary since ACE came out in 1978 with that definition. However, "plain code" doesn't seem to be a term that's actually used with that meaning in English.

数论密码,顾名思义,就是基于数论的密码。密码是相对于明码而言的。这是一个矛盾的两个方面。所谓明码(plaintext),就是人们可以直接识别或使用的代码(也就是人们通常所说的信息,如文字、声像等);所谓密码(ciphertext),就是将明码经过了一定处理,变换成一种外人(与此无关的人员)无法直接识别或使用的信息。
