The public key can be openly distributed without compromising security Key generation is the process of generating keys in cryptography A key is used to encrypt and decrypt whatever data is being encrypted/decrypted A device or program used to generate keys is called a key generator or keygen. 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 Key (cryptography) a key in cryptography is a piece of information, usually a string of numbers or letters that are stored in a file, which, when processed through a cryptographic algorithm, can encode or decode cryptographic data.
