Parent topics[edit]

• Cryptography [r]: A field at the intersection of mathematics and computer science that is concerned with the security of information, typically the confidentiality, integrity and authenticity of some message. ^[e]

Sibling topic[edit]

• Symmetric key cryptography [r]: A cryptographic system in which there is only one key; the same secret key is used for encryption and decryption. ^[e]

Techniques[edit]

• Diffie-Hellman [r]: A technique that allows two parties to safely establish a shared secret for use as a cryptographic key, even if someone is eavesdropping on their interaction. It requires that the parties have some means of authentication to be sure they are talking to the right person. ^[e]
• RSA algorithm [r]: A widely used public key encryption algorithm whose strength depends on the difficulty of integer factorisation. ^[e]

Applications[edit]

• Digital signature [r]: A technique based on public key cryptography to allow people to "sign" documents using their private keys. ^[e]
• Hybrid cryptosystem [r]: A system that combines public key with secret key methods; usually with a cryptographic hash for authentication as well. ^[e]
• Public key infrastructure [r]: Add brief definition or description

Other related topics[edit]

• Computational complexity theory [r]: Add brief definition or description
• Modular arithmetic [r]: Form of arithmetic dealing with integers in which all numbers having the same remainder when divided by a whole number are considered equivalent. ^[e]
• Number theory [r]: The study of integers and relations between them. ^[e]
