Category:Cryptographic protocols

The main article for this category is Cryptographic protocol.

Cryptographic protocols — the communication protocols designed and available to provide computer security assurances using cryptographic mechanisms.

• Classic assurances include internet protocols for confidentiality and message integrity — and more recent research includes anonymity assurances. The term "protocol" is used in a wide sense, to include off-line arrangements such as encryption of email messages.
