2. Key generation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_generation

   Another way to generate randomness is to utilize information outside the system. Veracrypt (a disk encryption software) utilizes user mouse movements to generate unique seeds, in which users are encouraged to move their mouse sporadically. In other situations, the key is derived deterministically using a passphrase and a key derivation function.

3. Key generator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_generator

   A key generator [1] [2] [3] is a protocol or algorithm that is used in many cryptographic protocols to generate a sequence with many pseudo-random characteristics. This sequence is used as an encryption key at one end of communication, and as a decryption key at the other.

4. Public-key cryptography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography

   Because asymmetric key algorithms are nearly always much more computationally intensive than symmetric ones, it is common to use a public/private asymmetric key-exchange algorithm to encrypt and exchange a symmetric key, which is then used by symmetric-key cryptography to transmit data using the now-shared symmetric key for a symmetric key ...

5. Key (cryptography) - Wikipedia

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

   Based on the used method, the key can be different sizes and varieties, but in all cases, the strength of the encryption relies on the security of the key being maintained. A key's security strength is dependent on its algorithm, the size of the key, the generation of the key, and the process of key exchange.

6. RSA (cryptosystem) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSA_(cryptosystem)

   Because RSA encryption is a deterministic encryption algorithm (i.e., has no random component) an attacker can successfully launch a chosen plaintext attack against the cryptosystem, by encrypting likely plaintexts under the public key and test whether they are equal to the ciphertext.

7. Diffie–Hellman key exchange - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffie–Hellman_key_exchange

   static, static: Would generate a long term shared secret. Does not provide forward secrecy, but implicit authenticity. Since the keys are static it would for example not protect against replay-attacks. ephemeral, static: For example, used in ElGamal encryption or Integrated Encryption Scheme (IES). If used in key agreement it could provide ...
