Key management

piece of information in cryptography

electronic document used to prove the ownership of a public key

system that can issue, distribute and verify digital certificates

suite of IETF specifications for securing certain kinds of information provided by DNS

entity that issues digital certificates

property of secure communication protocols in which compromise of long-term keys does not compromise past session keys

a stopgap security protocol used in the IEEE 802.11 wireless networking standard; was deprecated in the 2012 revision of the 802.11 standard

Encryption protocol for Wireless LAN

function that derives one or more secret keys from a secret value

in computing, a list of revoked certificates

number of bits in a key used by a cryptographic algorithm

event where people sign each other's PGP key

mechanism for authenticating cryptographic keys

a computer password or cryptographic key

method to set encryption keys

single-use key in hybrid cryptosystems

certificate used for HTTPS websites and software that proves the legal entity controlling the website or software package; obtaining an EV certificate requires verification of the requesting entity's identity by a certificate authority

server on which public keys are stored for others to use

Key that is easy to break with a specific cipher

part of a cryptosystem intended to reduce the risks inherent in exchanging keys

technique intended to increase the security of an iterated block cipher

the secure management of cryptographic keys in a cryptosystem, including their generation, exchange, storage, use, crypto-shredding and replacement

Self-signed certificate

technique used to make a possibly weak key, typically a password or passphrase, more secure against a brute-force attack by increasing the time it takes to test each possible key

Cryptographic arrangement

IPv6 & IPsec stack for BSD derivatives

Internet security protocol

Keybase is a key directory that maps social media identities to encryption keys (including, but not limited to PGP keys) in a publicly auditable manner. Additionally it offers an end-to-end encrypted chat and cloud storage system, called Keybase Chat and the Keybase Filesystem respectively. Files placed in the public portion of the filesystem are served from a public endpoint, as well as locally from a filesystem union-mounted by the Keybase client.

Secure Shell (SSH) is a protocol allowing secure remote login to a computer on a network using public-key cryptography. SSH client programs (such as ssh from OpenSSH) typically run for the duration of a remote login session and are configured to look for the user's private key in a file in the user's home directory (e.g., .ssh/id_rsa). For added security (for instance, against an attacker that can read any file on the local filesystem), it is common to store the private key in an encrypted form, where the encryption key is computed from a passphrase that the user has memorized.

strongSwan is a multiplatform IPsec implementation. The focus of the project is on authentication mechanisms using X.509 public key certificates and optional storage of private keys and certificates on smartcards through a PKCS#11 interface and on TPM 2.0.

A keyfile (or key-file) is a file on a computer which contains encryption or license keys.
