| IT | data encryption key | Datenschlüssel |
| comp., MS | data encryption key | Datenverschlüsselungsschlüssel (A bit string that is used in conjunction with an encryption algorithm to encrypt and decrypt data) |
| comp., MS | encryption key | Verschlüsselungsschlüssel (A bit string that is used in conjunction with an encryption algorithm to encrypt and decrypt data) |
| comp., MS | encryption key | Schlüssel (A bit string that is used in conjunction with an encryption algorithm to encrypt and decrypt data) |
| IT | encryption key | kryptographischer Schlüssel |
| comp., MS | full volume encryption key | Schlüssel für die vollständige Volumeverschlüsselung (The algorithm-specific key that is used to encrypt (and optionally, diffuse) data on disk sectors. Currently, this key can be either 128 bits or 256 bits advanced encryption standard (AES). The default encryption algorithm that BitLocker Drive Encryption uses is AES 128 bit with diffuser) |
| tech. | key encryption key | Verschlüsselungsschlüssel (KEK) |
| comp., MS | public key encryption | Verschlüsselung mit öffentlichem Schlüssel (A method of encryption that uses a pair of mathematically related keys: a public key and a corresponding private key. Either key can be used to encrypt data, but the corresponding key must be used to decrypt it) |
| commun., IT | public-key encryption | Public-Key-Verschlüsselung |

| IT | RSA public-key encryption algorithm | RSA-Verfahren |
| gen. | RSA public-key encryption algorithm | RSA-Algorithmus |
| comp., MS | secret key encryption | Verschlüsselung mit geheimem Schlüssel (An encryption algorithm that requires the same secret key to be used for both encryption and decryption. Because of its speed, symmetric encryption is typically used when a message sender needs to encrypt large amounts of data) |
| comp., MS | secret key encryption | symmetrische Verschlüsselung (An encryption algorithm that requires the same secret key to be used for both encryption and decryption. Because of its speed, symmetric encryption is typically used when a message sender needs to encrypt large amounts of data) |
