cryptography using paired keys, one public and one private, so parties can agree on secrets or sign messages without sharing a secret first.

In cryptography, public-key cryptography refers to cryptography using paired keys, one public and one private, so parties can agree on secrets or sign messages without sharing a secret first. This meaning comes from Diffie (1976) in IEEE Transactions on Information Theory.[1]
