[Ribagorda:1997]
Dispositivo o algoritmo que produce una secuencia
pseudoaleatoria de claves. [CESID:1997]
(I) A process that creates
the sequence of symbols that comprise a cryptographic key. (See: key management.) [RFC4949:2007]
1. (I) An algorithm that
uses mathematical rules to deterministically produce a pseudorandom sequence of
cryptographic key values.
2. (I) An encryption device
that incorporates a key-generation mechanism and applies the key to plain text
to produce cipher text (e.g., by exclusive OR-ing (a) a bit-string
representation of the key with (b) a bit-string representation of the
plaintext).
[RFC4949:2007]
method for generating
asymmetric key pairs. [ISO-18033-2:2006]
