cryptographic-primitive [ noun ]

AI–generated Summary

A well-known cryptographic algorithm commonly used in computer security systems for creating cryptographic protocols such as one-way hash functions and encryption functions.

Definition

the serialization of a value associated with a cryptographic operation including but not limited to a digest (hash), a salt, a seed, a private key, a public key, or a signature. Source: Dr. S.Smith, 2024

Explanation

Cryptographic primitives are well-established, low-level cryptographic algorithms that are frequently used to build cryptographic protocols for computer security systems. These routines include, but are not limited to, one-way hash functions and encryption functions. More on source Wikipedia-page

KERI related

In KERI and ACDC it a serialization of a unitary value associated with a cryptographic operation including but not limited to a digest (hash), a salt, a seed, a private key, a public key, or a signature. All primitives in KERI MUST be expressed in CESR+.
