cryptosystem
(D) ISDs SHOULD NOT use this term as an abbreviation for cryptographic system. (For rationale, see: crypto.)
crypto
Except as part of certain long-established terms listed in this Glossary, ISDs SHOULD NOT use this abbreviated term because it may be misunderstood. Instead, use "cryptography" or "cryptographic".

cryptosystem
(I) Contraction of "cryptographic system".
cryptographic system
1. (I) A set of cryptographic algorithms together with the key management processes that support use of the algorithms in some application context.
Usage: IDOCs SHOULD use definition 1 because it covers a wider range of algorithms than definition 2.
2. (O) "A collection of transformations from plain text into cipher text and vice versa [which would exclude digital signature, cryptographic hash, and key-agreement algorithms], the particular transformation(s) to be used being selected by keys. The transformations are normally defined by a mathematical algorithm." [X509]
