In cryptography, a key is a piece of information (a parameter) that determines the functional output of a cryptographic algorithm. For encryption algorithms, a key specifies the transformation of plaintext into ciphertext, and vice versa depending on the decryption algorithm. Keys also specify transformations in other cryptographic algorithms, such as digital signature schemes and message authentication codes.
