| IT | encryption key | chiave di codifica |
| IT | encryption key | chiave di cifratura |
| comp., MS | encryption key | chiave di crittografia (A bit string that is used in conjunction with an encryption algorithm to encrypt and decrypt data) |
| comp., MS | full volume encryption key | chiave di crittografia dell'intero volume (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) |
| law, IT | lawful access to encryption keys | accesso legittimo alle chiavi di cifratura |
| comp., MS | public key encryption | crittografia a chiave pubblica (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 e Adleman |
| IT | RSA public-key encryption algorithm | Rivest, Shamir e Adleman |
| comp., MS | secret key encryption | crittografia a chiave privata (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) |
