  "definition": "1. 1. A well-defined computational procedure that takes variable inputs, including a cryptographic key, and produces an output.\n\n2. 2. Well-defined procedure or sequence of rules or steps, or a series of mathematical equations used to describe cryptographic processes such as encryption/decryption, key generation, authentication, signatures, etc.\n\n3. A well-defined computational procedure that takes variable inputs, often including a cryptographic key, and produces an output.\n\n4. A well-defined computational procedure that takes variable inputs, including a cryptographic key, and produces an output.\n\n5. A well-defined computational procedure that takes variable inputs, including a cryptographic key (if applicable), and produces an output.\n\n6. A well-defined computational procedure that takes variable inputs (often including a cryptographic key) and produces an output.",
