In many places, we'll deal with asymmetric cryptographic key pairs:

||||
|
||||

```{figure} diag/cryptographic_keys.png

|
||||
A cryptographic keypair
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
A cryptographic key pair consists of a public and a private part. In this document, we'll show the public part of a cryptographic key in green, and the private part in red.
|
||||
|
||||
We'll usually visualize cryptographic keypairs in this more compact form:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
```{figure} diag/keypair.png

|
||||

|
||||
A cryptographic keypair, more compact representation
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note that in many contexts, only the public part is present (more on that later):
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
```{figure} diag/keypair_pub.png
|
||||
---
|
||||

|
||||
Only the public part of a cryptographic keypair
|
||||
```
