Security Parameter




The security parameter size ''n'' is usually expressed in Unary Representation (i.e. a ''n''-long string of bits 1) so that the cryptographic algorithm execution efficiency can be polynomial-time in the length of the input size.

Typical security parameters:
  • The length, in bits, of the key used in a cryptographic scheme.
