Asymmetric Cryptography is a type of cryptosystem where one key is used for e.g. encryption/verification of a signature and a different one for decryption/signing. In Cryptolens, the RSA Public Key is the key that can only be used to verify a license key object. The RSA Private Key is stored securely on the server and used for signing.
A cipher refers to an algorithm for performing encryption and decryption.
Decryption refers to the process of converting ciphertext back to plaintext. It is used in software licensing.
Encryption refers to the process of converting plaintext into ciphertext to prevent unauthorized access.
A Private Key is a key that is kept secret and used for decryption or creating a digital signature.
The Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) is a framework of encryption and cybersecurity that protects communications between the server and the client. The framework uses both public and private keys.
An RSA Public Key is a key that can be shared publicly and used for encryption or verifying a digital signature. In Cryptolens, the RSA Public Key is used to verify the signature of the license key object.
Symmetric Cryptography is a type of cryptosystem where the same key is used for encryption and decryption of a message.
