Secret Password Encryption
David Coffin · Apress eBooks · 2011
What I am calling secret password encryption (password encryption) is also known as shared secret passphrase encryption and password-based encryption (PBE). Basically, the idea is that a single passphrase (or password—I will be using those words interchangeably) is known by two parties, and they each encrypt messages or data to pass to each other using that password. The same password is used by the recipient to decrypt the messages and data. No one else can decrypt the data because the password is a secret, shared only by the two parties. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
