👉 In cryptography, a cryptonymic is a cryptographic term that refers to a unique identifier for a cryptographic key. Cryptonyms are typically used in applications such as hashing and encryption to make it easier for users to remember their keys and to compare them securely. They are often used as part of the public key infrastructure (PKI) to ensure that two parties can authenticate each other's identities using a common key, which is then used by the party with the public key to encrypt data or to sign messages
