| commun., IT | public key | klucz publiczny |
| comp., MS | public key algorithm | algorytm asymetryczny (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) |
| comp., MS | Public Key Cryptography Standards | standardy szyfrowania kluczem publicznym (A family of standards for public key cryptography that includes RSA encryption, Diffie-Hellman key agreement, password-based encryption, extended-syntax, cryptographic message syntax, private key information syntax, and certificate request syntax, as well as selected attributes. Developed, owned, and maintained by RSA Data Security, Inc) |
| comp., MS | public key encryption | szyfrowanie kluczem publicznym (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) |
| commun., IT | public key infrastructure | infrastruktura klucza publicznego |
| comp., MS | public key infrastructure | infrastruktura kluczy publicznych (The laws, policies, standards, and software that regulate or manipulate certificates and public and private keys. In practice, it is a system of digital certificates, certification authorities, and other registration authorities that verify and authenticate the validity of each party involved in an electronic transaction. Standards for PKI are still evolving, even though they are being widely implemented as a necessary element of electronic commerce) |
| comp., MS | Public Key Infrastructure certificate | Certyfikat infrastruktury kluczy publicznych (A system of digital certificates, certification authorities, and other registration authorities that verify and authenticate the validity of each party involved in an electronic transaction) |
| comp., MS | public key infrastructure hierarchy | hierarchia infrastruktury kluczy publicznych (A hierarchy in which the roles of the certification authority are separated into one root CA and one or more subordinate CAs) |
