synchronous key encryption
synchronous key encryption
(algorithm, cryptography)It is a very powerful system. One cannot determine one keyfrom the other, nor can they crack the encryption by computingall combinations, because, depending on the size of the keys(sometimes as large as 1024 bytes, though having grown fromsmaller versions in popular implementations of the softwarewhich does this), the amount of computing power required tocrack the code is unavailable, even supercomputers would takemore than a hundred years to crack it.
PGP is a publicly availble software implementation writtenby Phil Zimmermann.
