Definition: Abnerval is a technical term used in cryptography to describe the security features provided by an encryption key. The term "Abnerval" refers to an Abnegation group or Abnegation protocol. An Abnegation group (AG) is a cryptographic group composed of two groups: one called the Abnegation Group and another called the Abnegation Base. The Abnegation Group acts as the "master" group and the Abnegation Base acts as the "slave" group. The master group generates keys in secret, which are then used to encrypt data with the slave group's keys. An Abnegation Protocol provides a set of cryptographic operations that enable an application or system to perform certain tasks such as key exchange, authentication, encryption, and decryption. These operations rely on the Abnegation Group's properties and can be performed securely. The Abnerval term is often used in cryptography literature to describe the security features provided by an encryption key when using a specific protocol or cryptographic technique.
