| comp., MS | data encryption key | datakrypteringsnøgle (A bit string that is used in conjunction with an encryption algorithm to encrypt and decrypt data) |
| IT | encryption key | kryptografering |
| comp., MS | encryption key | krypteringsnøgle (A bit string that is used in conjunction with an encryption algorithm to encrypt and decrypt data) |
| commun., IT | public key encryption | asymmetrisk kryptering |
| comp., MS | public key encryption | kryptering ved hjælp af offentlig nøgle (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) |
| IT | Rivest, Shamir and Adleman public-key encryption algorithm | Rivest, Shamir og Adleman |
| IT | RSA public-key encryption algorithm | Rivest, Shamir og Adleman |
| comp., MS | secret key encryption | kryptering ved hjælp af hemmelig nøgle (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) |
