!!! Overview
[{$pagename}] or [Secret-key] and A [Public Key] are [Cryptographic Keys] that are mathematically linked. 

The [{$pagename}] may be used to:
* decrypt [ciphertext] which was [Encrypted] by the [Public Key]
* perform [Signature Generation] which anyone with the [Public Key] could perform [Signature Verification]
* [Encrypt] a [message] which could be read by anyone with the [Public Key] (which should be considered [Everybody])

Protection and safeguarding of the [{$pagename}] must be performed as the [{$pagename}] is essentially a [Bearer Token].

The two keys are used in [Asymmetric Key Cryptography] stems from the use of different keys to perform these opposite functions, each the inverse of the other.

[Asymmetric Key Cryptography] as contrasted [Symmetric Key Cryptography] which relies on the same [{$pagename}] or [Secret-key] to perform both operations.

!! [Public Key Infrastructure Weaknesses]
If the [Private Key] is not properly safeguarded by the original owner, digital forgery can become a major concern as the [Private Key] is considered to be a [Bearer Token].
