Clave criptográfica

1. Parámetro usado por un algoritmo para validar, autenticar, cifrar o descifrar un mensaje (ISO-8732)

2. Sucesión de símbolos que controlan las operaciones de cifrado y descifrado (ISO-7498-2). 3. Parámetro usado por un algoritmo criptográfico para cifrar y descifrar datos, obtener la firma digital de unos datos, verificar ésta o calcular un código de autenticación de mensajes o una función resumen (FIPS 140-1).

A menudo se expresa simplemente mediante la palabra clave.

[Ribagorda:1997]

(en) Cryptographic key (key)

A parameter used in conjunction with a cryptographic algorithm that determines its operation in such a way that an entity with knowledge of the key can reproduce or reverse the operation, while an entity without knowledge of the key cannot.

Examples include:

·         The transformation of plaintext data into ciphertext data,

·         The transformation of ciphertext data into plaintext data,

·         The computation of a digital signature from data,

·         The verification of a digital signature,

·         The computation of an authentication code from data,

·         The verification of an authentication code from data and a received authentication code,

·         The computation of a shared secret that is used to derive keying material.

[NIST-SP800-57:2007]

(en) cryptographic key

A sequence of symbols that controls the operation of a cryptographic transformation.

EXAMPLE: A cryptographic transformation may include but not limited to encipherment, decipherment, cryptographic check function computation, signature generation, or signature verification.

[ISO-19790:2006]

(en) Cryptographic key

a parameter used in conjunction with a cryptographic algorithm that determines

·         the transformation of plaintext data into ciphertext data,

·         the transformation of ciphertext data into plaintext data,

·         a digital signature computed from data,

·         the verification of a digital signature computed from data,

·         an authentication code computed from data, or

·         an exchange agreement of a shared secret.
