| key encryption | chiffrement à clé (The creation of a randomly-generated symmetric key to encrypt file data) |
| public key encryption | chiffrement à clé publique (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) |
| secret key encryption | chiffrement à clé secrète (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) |
