private key cryptography

   Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.03 sec.

private key cryptography

Typically refers to secret key cryptography, which uses the same secret key. However, the use of the term "private" is confusing, because in public key cryptography (a different architecture), a "private key" is used. See cryptography.
