  2. Three-pass protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-pass_protocol

    The first three-pass protocol was the Shamir three-pass protocol developed circa in 1980. It is also called the Shamir No-Key Protocol because the sender and the receiver do not exchange any keys, however the protocol requires the sender and receiver to have two private keys for encrypting and decrypting messages.

  3. Cryptographic key types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_key_types

    Private key transport keys are the private keys of asymmetric key pairs that are used to decrypt keys that have been encrypted with the associated public key using a public key algorithm. Key transport keys are usually used to establish keys (e.g., key wrapping keys, data encryption keys or MAC keys) and, optionally, other keying material (e.g ...

  4. Key (cryptography) - Wikipedia

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

    Key agreement and key transport are the two types of a key exchange scheme that are used to be remotely exchanged between entities . In a key agreement scheme, a secret key, which is used between the sender and the receiver to encrypt and decrypt information, is set up to be sent indirectly.

  5. Key exchange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_exchange

    Key exchange (also key establishment) is a method in cryptography by which cryptographic keys are exchanged between two parties, allowing use of a cryptographic algorithm. In the Diffie–Hellman key exchange scheme, each party generates a public/private key pair and distributes the public key. After obtaining an authentic copy of each other's ...

  6. Cryptosystem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptosystem

    Mathematically, a cryptosystem or encryption scheme can be defined as a tuple (,,,,) with the following properties.. is a set called the "plaintext space". Its elements are called plaintexts.; is a set called the "ciphertext space". Its elements are called ciphertexts.; is a set called the "key space". Its elements are called keys.; = {:} is a set of functions :. Its elements are called ...

  7. Ciphertext - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciphertext

    In a symmetric key algorithm (e.g., DES, AES), the sender and receiver have a shared key established in advance: the sender uses the shared key to perform encryption; the receiver uses the shared key to perform decryption. Symmetric key algorithms can either be block ciphers or stream ciphers. Block ciphers operate on fixed-length groups of ...

  8. Database encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_encryption

    The transparent element of TDE has to do with the fact that TDE encrypts on "the page level", which essentially means that data is encrypted when stored and decrypted when it is called into the system's memory. [9] The contents of the database are encrypted using a symmetric key that is often referred to as a "database encryption key". [2]

  9. Ciphertext stealing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ciphertext_stealing

    D n = Decrypt (K, C n−1). Decrypt the second-to-last ciphertext block using ECB mode. C n = C n || Tail (D n, B−M). Pad the ciphertext to the nearest multiple of the block size using the last B−M bits of block cipher decryption of the second-to-last ciphertext block. Swap the last two ciphertext blocks. Decrypt the (modified) ciphertext ...
