Key Encryption Methods Related Entries Web Links New/Updated Information Note: Many topics at this site are reduced versions of the text in "The Encyclopedia of Networking and Telecommunications." Search results will not be as extensive as a search of the book's CD-ROM. Key encryption technologies are used to encrypt and decrypt data. A key is a value that is used with cryptographic algorithms to encrypt some input (called plaintext). The output is called ciphertext. Given the same input and the same algorithm, a different key will produce different ciphertext. See "Cryptography," "Public-Key Cryptography," and "PKI (Public-Key Infrastructure)."
