Cryptographic key component

Term · Cybersecurity · MLC-T-CYB-001074

1. One of at least two parameters that have the same security properties (e.g., randomness) as a cryptographic key; parameters are combined in an approved security function to form a plaintext cryptographic key before use.

2. See Cryptographic key component.

3. One of at least two parameters that have the same format as a cryptographic key; parameters are combined in an Approved security function to form a plaintext cryptographic key before use.

4. One of at least two parameters that have the same security properties (e.g., randomness) as a cryptographic key; parameters are combined using an approved cryptographic function to form a plaintext cryptographic key before use.
