An encryption key that is kept concealed. Its discovery voids the security of the encryption session. A secret key generally refers to the key in a secret key cryptography system, in which both sides use the same key. It may also refer to the private key in a public key cryptography system, because the private key must also be kept "secret." See secret key cryptography and public key cryptography. |
