Cipher Text Data that has been encrypted
Cleartext unencrypted data
Cryptography The science of transforming information into a secure form so that unauthorized persons cannot access it
DES Data Encryption Standard
Decryption The process of changing cipher text into plain text
Diffie Hellman A key exchange that requires all parties to agree upon a large prime number and related integar so that same key can be seperatly created
Diffie Hellman Ephemeral A diffie hellman exchange that uses different keys
Digest The unique digital fingerprint created by a one way hash algorithm
Digital signature An electronic verification of the sender
Elliptic Curve Cryptography An algorithm that uses elliptic curves instead of prime numbers to create keys

Stream Cipher An algorithm that takes one character and replaces it with one character
Symmetric Cryptographic Algorithm Encryption that used a single key to encrypt and decrypt a message
Triple Data Encryption Standard A symmetric cipher that was designed to replace des
Trusted Platform Module A chip on the motherboard of the computer that provides cryptographic services

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
