• Key generation — is the process of generating keys for cryptography. A key is used to encrypt and decrypt whatever data is being encrypted/decrypted.Modern cryptographic systems include symmetric key algorithms (such as DES and AES) and public key algorithms… …   Wikipedia

• Distributed key generation — For some protocols no party should be in the sole possession of the secret key. Rather, during distributed key generation every party obtains a share of the key. A threshold of the participating parties need to cooperate in order to achieve a… …   Wikipedia

• Key (cryptography) — In cryptography, a key is a piece of information (a parameter) that determines the functional output of a cryptographic algorithm or cipher. Without a key, the algorithm would produce no useful result. In encryption, a key specifies the… …   Wikipedia

• Key punch — A key punch is a device for entering data into punched cards by precisely punching holes at locations designated by the keys struck by the operator. Early keypunches were manual devices. Later keypunches were mechanized, often resembled a small… …   Wikipedia

• Symmetric-key algorithm — Symmetric key algorithms are a class of algorithms for cryptography that use trivially related, often identical, cryptographic keys for both decryption and encryption.The encryption key is trivially related to the decryption key, in that they may …   Wikipedia

• Demand generation — is the focus of targeted marketing programs to drive awareness and interest in a company s products and/or services. Commonly used in business to business, business to government, or longer sales cycle business to consumer sales cycles, demand… …   Wikipedia

• Cryptographic hash function — A cryptographic hash function (specifically, SHA 1) at work. Note that even small changes in the source input (here in the word over ) drastically change the resulting output, by the so called avalanche effect. A cryptographic hash function is a… …   Wikipedia

• Origin and function of meiosis — Eukaryotes are organisms with a true nucleus in which the DNA genome is enclosed in a double membrane (e.g. fungi, protozoans, vertebrates, higher plants), in contrast to prokaryotes (bacteria and blue green algae) that lack a nuclear membrane.… …   Wikipedia

• S/KEY — is a one time password system developed for authentication to Unix like operating systems, especially from dumb terminals or untrusted public computers on which one does not want to type a long term password. A user s real password is combined in …   Wikipedia
