Meaning of split key | Babel Free

Definitions

1. A key split at one end like a split pin, for the same purpose.
2. A key value used to identify where to split the children of a parent node in a B-tree or similar data structure.
3. A cryptographic key that is divided into two or more values that individually cannot be used to deduce the entire key.

Examples

“A split⟳ pin is also a split⟳ key, because both are used to lock⟳ or fasten pieces of machinery together.”

“In a rail-stay, the combination of a bar, with rail-clamping means associated with the bar at each end⟳, a spilt key to hold⟳ said means in engagement with the rail flange, and a fixed projection to force⟳ the leaves of the split⟳ key apart.”

“I am of the opinion, upon the evidence, that, although provision was made in the bolt for the split⟳ key, as a matter⟳ of fact no split⟳ key had ever been inserted.”

“As with B+-trees, records with keys greater than or equal to the split⟳ key go to a new current node, records with keys less than the split⟳ key remain⟳ in the original node.”

“The region is split⟳ into two logical daughter regions. The split⟳ is not done physically at this point⟳ to make⟳ the splitting process⟳ fast. The split⟳ is maintained as a split⟳ key, which is a key in the middle of the key range maintained for the region.”

“Take⟳ the key in the parent node that splits the left sibling and the leaf, the split⟳ key, and insert⟳ it into the leaf.”

“Moreover, even those systems (such as split⟳ key systems) that can decrease these risks, do so with a marked increase⟳ in cost⟳.”

“A toolkit for split⟳ key cryptography in and of itself is (almost) a byproduct of developing ultra-high assurance applications such as root certifying authorities.”

“Camenisch et al. [CCGS10] define⟳, among other things, split⟳ key exchange⟳ and give⟳ a construction based on the decisional Diffie-Hellman assumption.”
