One can implement a key generator in a system that aims to generate, distribute, and authenticate [4] keys in a way that without the private key, one cannot access the information in the public end. [5] Examples of key generators include linear-feedback shift registers (LFSR) and the Solitaire (or Pontifex) cipher.
Symmetric-key algorithms use a single shared key; keeping data secret requires keeping this key secret. Public-key algorithms use a public key and a private key. The public key is made available to anyone (often by means of a digital certificate). A sender encrypts data with the receiver's public key; only the holder of the private key can ...
Imports a private resident key from a FIDO2 device. -p Requests changing the passphrase of a private key file instead of creating a new private key. -t Specifies the type of key to create (e.g., rsa). -o Use the new OpenSSH format. -q quiets ssh-keygen. It is used by the /etc/rc file while creating a new key. -N Provides a new Passphrase. -B
The algorithm uses a key pair consisting of a public key and a private key. The private key is used to generate a digital signature for a message, and such a signature can be verified by using the signer's corresponding public key.
G (key-generator) generates a public key (pk), and a corresponding private key (sk), on input 1 n, where n is the security parameter. S (signing) returns a tag, t, on the inputs: the private key (sk), and a string (x). V (verifying) outputs accepted or rejected on the inputs: the public key (pk), a string (x), and a tag (t).
A trusted third party, called the Private Key Generator (PKG), generates the corresponding private keys. To operate, the PKG first publishes a master public key, and retains the corresponding master private key (referred to as master key). Given the master public key, any party can compute a public key corresponding to the identity by combining ...
G (key-generator) gives the key k on input 1 n, where n is the security parameter. S (signing) outputs a tag t on the key k and the input string x. V (verifying) outputs accepted or rejected on inputs: the key k, the string x and the tag t. S and V must satisfy the following: Pr [ k ← G(1 n), V( k, x, S(k, x) ) = accepted] = 1. [5]
The purpose of the PKG is to create the receiver's private key, , associated to the receiver's identity, . The PKG must securely deliver the identity-specific private key to the receiver, and PKG-specific public parameter, , to all parties. These distribution processes are not considered as part of the definition of this cryptographic scheme.
