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

The [{$pagename}] is used to decrypt [ciphertext] or to create a [Digital Signature]. 

The [Public Key] is used to encrypt [plaintext] or to verify a [Digital Signature]

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}] to perform both.

!! [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].
