Key Pair

A set of two cryptographically linked keys used in public-key cryptography: a public key (shared openly) and a private key (kept secret). In crypto, key pairs are used to sign transactions and prove ownership of assets.

Example

“For example, when setting up a crypto wallet, the software generates a key pair — the public key serves as your wallet address for receiving funds, while the private key is used to sign and authorize outgoing transactions.”
