Key distribution is an important issue in wireless sensor network (WSN) design. There are many key distribution schemes in the literature that are designed to maintain an easy and at the same time secure communication among sensor nodes. ... Key distribution and key storage are more problematic in the cloud due to the transitory nature of the agents on it. 3, record 1, English, - key%20distribution

Cryptographie quantique [...] la difficulté de l'utilisation de «One Time Pad» [système inviolable] provient de la difficulté de la distribution des clefs. Comme une clef peut être une suite aléatoire de 0 et de 1, le problème est ramené au problème de l'acheminement d'une suite aléatoire de 0 et de 1 entre un émetteur et un récepteur, sans qu'elle puisse être interceptée par l'adversaire. 3, record 1, French, - distribution%20des%20cl%C3%A9s

symmetric-key cryptography : An encryption system in which the sender and receiver of a message share a single, common key that is used to encrypt and decrypt the message. Contrast this with public-key cryptology, which utilizes two keys - a public key to encrypt messages and a private key to decrypt them. 2, record 3, English, - symmetric%20key
