Key generator

A key generator

pseudo-random characteristics. This sequence is used as an encryption key at one end of communication, and as a decryption key at the other. One can implement a key generator in a system that aims to generate, distribute, and authenticate^[4] keys in a way that without the private key, one cannot access the information in the public end.^[5]

Examples of key generators include linear-feedback shift registers (LFSR) and the Solitaire (or Pontifex) cipher.
