| abgeleiteter Schlüssel | derived key (A cryptographic key created by a call to CryptDeriveKey. A derived key can be created from a password, or any other user data. Derived keys allow applications to create session keys as needed, eliminating the need to store a particular key) |
| Algorithmus des asymmetrischen Schlüssels | asymmetric key algorithm (A method of encryption that uses a pair of mathematically related keys: a public key and a corresponding private key. Either key can be used to encrypt data, but the corresponding key must be used to decrypt it) |
| Algorithmus des öffentlichen Schlüssels | public key algorithm (An asymmetric cipher that uses two keys, one for encryption, the public key, and the other for decryption, the private key. As implied by the key names, the public key used to encode plaintext can be made available to anyone. However, the private key must remain secret. Only the private key can decrypt the ciphertext. The public key algorithm used in this process is slow (on the order of 1,000 times slower than symmetric algorithms), and is typically used to encrypt session keys or digitally sign a message) |
| externer Schlüssel | external key (A file that contains information to access cryptographically locked data, which is stored away from the system, such as on a USB flash drive) |
| geheimer Schlüssel | secret key (A symmetric encryption key shared by two entities, such as between a user and the domain controller (DC), with a long lifetime. A password is a common example of a secret key. When used in a context that implies Kerberos only, a principal's secret key) |
| hinterlegter Schlüssel | crypto escrow key (A secondary encryption key that provides the ability for an authorized IT Helpdesk administrator to open an encrypted document when the password is lost) |
| Kryptografie für symmetrische Schlüssel | symmetric-key cryptography (A type of cryptography that uses symmetric keys to provide confidentiality) |
| natürlicher Schlüssel | natural key (A primary key or alternate key whose values identify objects in the real world) |
| NULL-Schlüssel | null key (A null value that is encountered in a key column) |
| privater Schlüssel | private key (The secret half of a cryptographic key pair that is used with a public key algorithm. Private keys are typically used to decrypt a symmetric session key, digitally sign data, or decrypt data that has been encrypted with the corresponding public key) |
| privater Schlüssel | private key (The secret half of a cryptographic key pair that is used with a public key algorithm. Private keys are typically used to decrypt a symmetric session key, digitally sign data, or decrypt data that has been encrypted with the corresponding public key) |
| Schlüssel, auf den verwiesen wird | referenced key (A primary key or unique key referenced by a foreign key) |
| Schlüssel für die vollständige Volumeverschlüsselung | full volume encryption key (The algorithm-specific key that is used to encrypt (and optionally, diffuse) data on disk sectors. Currently, this key can be either 128 bits or 256 bits advanced encryption standard (AES). The default encryption algorithm that BitLocker Drive Encryption uses is AES 128 bit with diffuser) |
| Schlüssel-Generator | key generator (A hardware or software component that is used to generate encryption key material) |
| Schlüssel-ID | key ID (A value that identifies the key for a packaged Windows Media file) |
| Schlüssel-ID des Antragstellers | subject key identifier (A certificate extension that contains a hash of the certification authority's certificate public key. This hash is placed in the Authority Key Identifier (AKI) extension of all issued certificates to facilitate chain building) |
| Schlüssel-Wert-Paar | key-value pair (A set of data items that contains a unique identifier, called a key, and a value that is the actual data for the key) |
| symmetrischer Schlüssel | symmetric key (The cryptographic key used to both encrypt and decrypt protected content during publishing and consumption) |
| symmetrischer Schlüssel, Inhaltsschlüssel | content key (The cryptographic key used to both encrypt and decrypt protected content during publishing and consumption) |
| unverschlüsselter Schlüssel | clear key (The key that is stored unencrypted on the disk volume. This key is used to freely access the volume master key, and in turn, the full volume encryption key when BitLocker Drive Encryption protection is disabled but the disk volume remains encrypted) |
| Verschlüsselung mit geheimem Schlüssel | secret key encryption (An encryption algorithm that requires the same secret key to be used for both encryption and decryption. Because of its speed, symmetric encryption is typically used when a message sender needs to encrypt large amounts of data) |
| Verschlüsselung mit öffentlichem Schlüssel | public key encryption (A method of encryption that uses a pair of mathematically related keys: a public key and a corresponding private key. Either key can be used to encrypt data, but the corresponding key must be used to decrypt it) |
| vordefinierter Schlüssel | predefined key (A key that represents one of the main divisions of the registry. Each predefined key is displayed in a separate Registry Editor window, with the key's name appearing in the window's title bar. For example, HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT is a predefined key) |
| Vorinstallierter Schlüssel | Pre-shared key (An option that allows the user to view the code that can be used to authenticate IPSec/L2TP connections (typically VPN connections)) |
| zusammengesetzter Schlüssel | composite key (A key whose definition consists of two or more fields in a file, columns in a table, or attributes in a relation) |
| öffentlicher Schlüssel | public key (The nonsecret half of a cryptographic key pair that is used with a public key algorithm. Public keys are typically used when encrypting a session key, verifying a digital signature, or encrypting data that can be decrypted with the corresponding private key) |
