Give brief definitions of each of the following terms.
a. public-key system
b. public key
a. In public-key systems the enciphering and deciphering functions are separated;
the enciphering key cannot be used to decipher a message. The two keys are
related, but it is not computationally feasible to derive one from the other
within a reasonable period of time. So the encryption key may be made public;
anyone can use it to send a message to the intended receiver, and only the
receiver will be able to decrypt the message.
b. As in the above, a key that may be made public to allow anyone to send a message
to a single receiver who possesses the private decryption key.
