  2. Key signature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_signature

    In standard music notation, the order in which sharps or flats appear in key signatures is uniform, following the circle of fifths: F ♯, C ♯, G ♯, D ♯, A ♯, E ♯, B ♯, and B ♭, E ♭, A ♭, D ♭, G ♭, C ♭, F ♭. Musicians can identify the key by the number of sharps or flats shown, since they always appear in the same order.

  3. Key signature (cryptography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_signature_(cryptography)

    In cryptography, a key signature is the result of a third-party applying a cryptographic signature to a representation of a cryptographic key. This is usually done as a form of assurance or verification: If "Alice" has signed "Bob's" key, it can serve as an assurance to another party, say "Eve", that the key actually belongs to Bob, and that Alice has personally checked and attested to this.

  4. Public key certificate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_certificate

    Key Usage: The valid cryptographic uses of the certificate's public key. Common values include digital signature validation, key encipherment, and certificate signing. Extended Key Usage: The applications in which the certificate may be used. Common values include TLS server authentication, email protection, and code signing.

  5. Public-key cryptography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography

    The two best-known types of public key cryptography are digital signature and public-key encryption: In a digital signature system, a sender can use a private key together with a message to create a signature. Anyone with the corresponding public key can verify whether the signature matches the message, but a forger who does not know the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_signature_names_and...

    When a musical key or key signature is referred to in a language other than English, that language may use the usual notation used in English (namely the letters A to G, along with translations of the words sharp, flat, major and minor in that language): languages which use the English system include Irish, Welsh, Hindi, Japanese (based on katakana in iroha order), Korean (based on hangul in ...

  7. Public key infrastructure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_infrastructure

    Public-key cryptography is a cryptographic technique that enables entities to securely communicate on an insecure public network, and reliably verify the identity of an entity via digital signatures. [7] A public key infrastructure (PKI) is a system for the creation, storage, and distribution of digital certificates which are used to verify ...

  8. Public key fingerprint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_fingerprint

    In public-key cryptography, a public key fingerprint is a short sequence of bytes used to identify a longer public key. Fingerprints are created by applying a cryptographic hash function to a public key. Since fingerprints are shorter than the keys they refer to, they can be used to simplify certain key management tasks.

  9. Identity-based cryptography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity-based_cryptography

    Identity-based systems have a characteristic problem in operation. Suppose Alice and Bob are users of such a system. Since the information needed to find Alice's public key is completely determined by Alice's ID and the master public key, it is not possible to revoke Alice's credentials and issue new credentials without either (a) changing Alice's ID (usually a phone number or an email address ...
