| May 27, 2012 at 18:31 | comment | added | Federico Poloni | Are you familiar with public-key cryptography? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-key_cryptography Essentially, you can use a public/private key pair not only for encrypting messages, but also for signing them and thus identifying the sender in a tamper-proof way. That's how password-less authentication in SSH is handled, for instance. | |
