Digital Key in
Cryptography is a piece of information (a parameter) that determines the functional output of a
cryptographic algorithm. For
encryption algorithms, a
key specifies the transformation of
plaintext into
ciphertext, and vice versa for
decryption algorithms.
Digital Key also specify transformations in other
cryptographic algorithms, such as
Digital Signatures schemes and
Message Authentication Codes.
