(Speaking not necessarily to what you said, but more generally.)
This is a relatively new area, so we must careful to be precise with the terms we are working with. Like naming variables.
>encrypted data should be made available in plaintext
'Encrypted' data that can be rendered as 'plain text' or any other interpretable form of data upon certain conditions being met outside the scope of the initial encrypter is not 'encrypted data.' But could rather be referred to as something like 'concealed data.'
Encrypted data is data that is only accessible to those who have been authorized to access it by the initial encrypter.(setting aside human error in encryption techniques)
This definition follows exactly from the use of modern encryption algorithms. Therefore, encrypted data accessible to anyone other than 'Alice' or 'Bob,' is not in fact encrypted.
