Talk:Glossary of cryptographic keys

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This page is, in fact, a (mostly NSA-based) glossary of key-related concepts. Should we just rename it to Cryptographic keys glossary, or, probably, delete terms that are explained elsewhere and merge it into an NSA related page? GBL 09:06, 24 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This page has the following: "signature key - ... the private key is used to verify the signature"

Shouldn't it say that the private key is used to create the electronic signature and the public key is used to verify it? -- Mark Jacobs -- markjacobs8@comcast.net

Fixed, thanks -- GBL 09:06, 24 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I think this article should be merged with Cryptographic_key_types

[edit]

Comparably, Cryptographic_key_types is more professional. This article focus seems too detailed.

Is there a such thing as a unknowing person being the "key" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.163.0.43 (talk) 17:23, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

PKE Inclusion.

[edit]

The PIN encryption key (PKE) should be added to the list. In transaction processing, this is the key that is encrypted under the pre-shared KEK and sent to the endpoint. The endpoint would then use the KEK to decrypt the PKE and use the result to encrypt the PIN block. For a reasonable definition for the list, PKE (PIN encrypt key). The key used to encrypt the PIN block. The PKE is generally a key dynamically generated and distributed encrypted under the KEK. D92766 (talk) 01:17, 15 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
