The public key is freely disseminated and used to encrypt data or verify digital signatures, whereas the private key is kept hidden and used to decrypt data or create digital signatures.

Key Derivation

The process of generating one or more cryptographic keys from a single master key or passphrase is known as key derivation. It uses mathematical algorithms, such as key stretching and key expansion, to generate unique and safe keys for various purposes or users.
