A cryptographic system using mathematically linked key pairs: a public key (shared freely) and a private key (kept secret). Used for digital signatures (sender signs with private key, anyone verifies with public key) and encryption (encrypt with public key, decrypt with private key). Solana uses Ed25519 for signatures and Curve25519/Ristretto255 for encryption.
