Understanding Public and Private Keys in Ecart Pay
In Ecart Pay, public and private keys are part of an asymmetric cryptography system that ensures the security, authenticity, and confidentiality of transactions by enabling the following:
Public Key
- Purpose: Openly shared for encrypting data or verifying digital signatures.
- Usage:
- Encrypt sensitive data, such as transaction details, ensuring only the recipient with the Private Key can decrypt it.
- Verify digital signatures to confirm the transaction's authenticity and source.
Private Key
- Purpose: Kept secret to decrypt data or create digital signatures.
- Usage:
- Decrypt data encrypted with the corresponding Public Key.
- Digitally sign transactions to confirm their integrity and origin.
By leveraging this cryptographic system, Ecart Pay ensures enhanced security, reliable authentication, and robust data integrity.
