+*Description*: A _key pair_ is a set of two mathematically linked cryptographic keys: a public key that can be shared and a private key that must be kept secret. The public key encrypts data or verifies signatures, and the private key decrypts data or creates signatures. This pairing is the basis of public-key cryptography used in systems like SSH and TLS/SSL.
