Talk:Cryptographic key

TODO

The session key part needs clarification on when keys are transported securely, with symmetric or asymmetric techniques or exchanged as in DH. Mario Strefler 20:20, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Key-specific as opposed to cryptosystem

Thanks for catching the errors in cryptographic key. I'm not sure, however, that the comment on stream ciphers belongs in an article specifically about keys, unless there were a discussion of stream keying (and perhaps autokey) in its own section.

We may need a survey article, however, about modern cryptosystems in general, and techniques like stream, block, etc., ciphers, as well as OTP, algorithmic approaches such as Feistel, etc., might be better there.

Yeah, the comment better to belong to the article about ciphers than keys. Andrey Khalyavin 05:42, 1 August 2008 (CDT)

Duplicate articles?

We currently have both Key (cryptography) and Cryptographic key, with different contents. Combine them under one title and make the other a redirect? Sandy Harris 03:05, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
