Examples of cryptography

• The most obvious and common application of cryptography is for securing communications, thus ensuring confidentiality and privacy.

• The implementation of a publickey cryptography package needs to ensure that the random number object used in the generation of key pairs cannot be accessed by clients of the package.

• Components for these systems are now commercially available, and it seems very likely that quantum cryptography will be an important technology long before quantum computers of useful size are constructed.

• The sections on quantum cryptography, quantum proper ties of squeezed light, and experimental effor ts to measure gravitational waves provide adequate introduction to these exciting applications of quantum optics.

• In contrast to symmetric cryptosystems, public key cryptography is a form of cryptography which generally allows users to communicate securely without having prior access to a shared secret key.

• Recall that, in case of asymmetric cryptography, the decryption key for a ciphertext is the inverse of the key that was used to create the ciphertext.

• I turn now to the specific field covered by this debate in the field of cryptography.

• There will be no mandatory link between key escrow and being an approved provider of cryptography services under the proposed e-commerce legislation.
