A cryptographic protocol usually has at least some of these features:
In some cases cryptographic protocols are found to have information theoretic security, the one-time pad is a common example.
A cryptographic protocol usually incorporates at least some of these aspects:
A random function is a useful building block in enabling cryptographic protocols.
Block ciphers can also be used in other cryptographic protocols.
But again, it's an anonymous cryptographic protocol that was validated by a number of different cryptographers.
Such commitment schemes are commonly used in cryptographic protocols.
This can be done with any of several well-understood cryptographic protocols.
There are many ways to attack it and its cryptographic protocols are not very good.
You want, I mean, this is the most used cryptographic protocol on the Internet.
