one-time pad
Mathematics; General mathematics
A one-time pad is a cryptographic system in which a randomly generated private key is used only once to encrypt a message that is then decrypted by the receiver using a matching ...
decryption
Computer science; Cryptography
Decryption is the process of decoding a message that has been encrypted so that the information contained in the message can be read.
keypair
Mathematics; General mathematics
A keypair is a component of an asymmetric cryptographic algorithm that consists of a public key and a private key.
digital signature
Mathematics; General mathematics
A digital signature is a mathematical scheme used in cryptographic protocols for demonstrating the authenticity of a digital message or document.
secret key cryptography
Mathematics; General mathematics
Secret key cryptography is a category of cryptographic schemes in which the same key is used for both encryption and decryption of a message.
public key cryptography
Mathematics; General mathematics
Public key cryptography is a category of cryptographic schemes in which a pair of distinct keys is used to encrypt and decrypt a message.
elliptic curve cryptography
Mathematics; General mathematics
