1Key signing party — In cryptography, a key signing party is an event at which people present their PGP compatible keys to others in person, who, if they are confident the key actually belongs to the person who claims it, digitally sign the PGP certificate containing …
2Key Wrap — constructions are a class of symmetric encryption algorithms designed to encapsulate (encrypt) cryptographic key material. The Key Wrap algorithms are intended for applications such as (a) protecting keys while in untrusted storage, or (b)… …
3Key derivation function — KDF redirects here. For the Nazi organization, see Kraft durch Freude In cryptography, a key derivation function (or KDF) is a function which derives one or more secret keys from a secret value and/or other known information such as a password or …
4Applications of randomness — Randomness has many uses in gambling, divination, statistics, cryptography, art, etc.Note that these uses may have different requirements when it comes to statistical randomness or unpredictability, which in turn leads to different randomization… …
5Key size — In cryptography, key size or key length is the size measured in bits[1] of the key used in a cryptographic algorithm (such as a cipher). An algorithm s key length is distinct from its cryptographic security, which is a logarithmic measure of the… …
6Key strengthening — In cryptography, key strengthening or key stretching refer to techniques used to make a possibly weak key, typically a password or passphrase, more secure against a brute force attack by increasing the time it takes to test each possible key.… …
7Key-agreement protocol — In cryptography, a key agreement protocol is a protocol whereby two or more parties can agree on a key in such a way that both influence the outcome. If properly done, this precludes undesired third parties from forcing a key choice on the… …
8Key retainer — that retains one key (Key A) while the second key (Key B) is used for authorized purposes. When the key in use (Key B) is returned into the key retainer, the key held captive (Key A) is turned and then can be released. Now, the special key,… …
9Key signing party — En cryptographie, une key signing party est un événement pendant lequel des personnes s échangent entre elles leurs clefs compatibles PGP. L échange se fait de visu, de la main à la main. En partant du principe qu on a confiance en le fait que la …
10Command key — The Command key The Command key, also historically known as the Apple key, open Apple key or meta key is a modifier key present on Apple Keyboards. The Command key s purpose is to allow the user to enter keyboard shortcut commands to GUI… …
