En un
criptosistema asimétrico, clave criptográfica de un usuario conocida por el
mismo (ISO/IEC 9594-2, ITU-T X.509).
La
denominación de secreta para esta clave está en desuso, pues da lugar a
confusión con la clave de los criptosistemas simétricos denominada, con más
propiedad, secreta.
[Ribagorda:1997]
Clave que se
utiliza con un algoritmo criptográfico asimétrico y cuya posesión está
restringida (usualmente a una sola entidad). [X.810:1995]
(en) private key
In an asymmetric
cryptography scheme, the private or secret key of a key pair which must be kept
confidential and is used to decrypt messages encrypted with the public key or
to digitally sign messages, which can then be validated with the public key.
[CNSSI_4009:2010]
1. (I) The secret component
of a pair of cryptographic keys used for asymmetric cryptography. (See: key pair,
public key, secret key.)
2. (O) In a public key
cryptosystem, "that key of a user's key pair which is known only by that
user." [X509]
[RFC4949:2007]
A cryptographic key, used
with a public key cryptographic algorithm, that is uniquely associated with an
entity and is not made public. In an asymmetric (public) cryptosystem, the
private key is associated with a public key. Depending on the algorithm, the
private key may be used to:
·
Compute the
corresponding public key,
·
Compute a
digital signature that may be verified by the corresponding public key,
·
Decrypt
data that was encrypted by the corresponding public key, or
·
Compute a
piece of common shared data, together with other information.
[NIST-SP800-57:2007]
that key of an entitys
asymmetric key pair which should only be used by that entity
[ISO/IEC ISO-11770-1:1996].
NOTE. A private key should
not normally be disclosed.
[ISO-18033-1:2005]
(In a public key
cryptosystem) that key of a user's key pair which is known only by that user.
[X.509:2005]
that data item, key or
number, of an asymmetric pair, that shall be kept secret and should only be
used by a claimant in accordance with an appropriate response formula, thereby
establishing its identity. [ISO-9798-5:2004]
That key of an entity's
asymmetric key pair which can only be used by that entity.
NOTE. In the case of an
asymmetric signature system the private key defines the signature
transformation. In the case of an asymmetric encipherment system the private
key defines the decipherment transformation.
[ISO-11770-3:2008]
That key of an entity's
asymmetric key pair which shall normally only be known by that entity.
[ISO-11770-3:2008]
that key of an entity's
asymmetric key pair which should only be used by that entity [ISO-9798-1:1997]
A key that is used with an
asymmetric cryptographic algorithm and whose possession is restricted (usually
to only one entity). [X.810:1995]
clé qui est utilisée
avec un algorithme asymétrique de cryptographie et dont la possession est
limitée (habituellement à une seule entité). [X.810:1995]
Une des deux clés du
couple clé publique/clé privée tenue secrète et uniquement connue par son
possesseur. Elle intervient dans le mécanisme de déchiffrement et permet de
signer électroniquement des messages.
