K-M
key A value used to identify a record in a database, derived by applying a fixed function to the
record. The key is often simply one of the fields (a column if the database is considered as
1.
a table with records being rows). Alternatively, the key can be obtained by applying a
function to one or more of the fields.
2. A value that must be fed into the algorithm used to decode an encrypted message in order

encrypt and decrypt a message, but public key encryption uses a private (secret) key and
a public key that is known by all parties.
