<p>Private Key is the confidential half of the asymmetric key pair used in public-key cryptography. Unlike the “secret key†used in symmetric-key cryptography — a single key known by both the sender and the receiver — a private key is known only by the recipient. See public-key cryptography and secret-key cryptography.</p>
