    master key - key from which all other keys (or a large group of keys) can be derived. Analogous to a physical key that can open all the doors in a building. master encryption key (MEK) - Used to encrypt the DEK/TEK key. master key encryption key (MKEK) - Used to encrypt multiple KEK keys. For example, an HSM can generate several KEK and wrap ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keycard_lock

    There were 32 positions for possible hole locations, giving approximately 4.3 billion different keys. The key could easily be changed for each new guest by inserting a new key template in the lock that matched the new key. [2] In the early 1980s, the key card lock was electrified with LEDs that detected the holes. A keycard with a magnetic stripe

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proximity_card

    A proximity card or prox card [1] also known as a key card or keycard is a contactless smart card which can be read without inserting it into a reader device, as required by earlier magnetic stripe cards such as credit cards and contact type smart cards. [2] The proximity cards are part of the contactless card technologies.

  8. Key checksum value - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Key_checksum_value

    In cryptography, a Key Checksum Value (KCV) is the checksum of a cryptographic key. [1] It is used to validate the integrity of the key or compare keys without knowing their actual values. The KCV is computed by encrypting a block of bytes, each with value '00' or '01', with the cryptographic key and retaining the first 6 hexadecimal characters ...
