clés de registre

French to English Law/Patents IT (Information Technology)
Lorsque la clé de registre (Kr) n'est pas changée, un message (RST) diffusé spécifique transmis soit par le biais du module de sécurité, soit directement au module de calcul peut également réinitialiser le compteur.

Le module de décryption (MD) génère alors le second résultat (S2) par combinaison du second cryptogramme CW2' et d'une ou plusieurs clés de registres (Kr)


Is it "register key" or "registry key"???????

And while we're at it would "registe" be "register" "registry (see below)

). Ce module (SSE) va, selon les instructions (IN), extraire une ou les clés Kr d'un, respectivement plusieurs registres (R1, R2, …Rn) indiqués dans l'instruction (IN

Wider context The wider context (oversimplified version) is about digital pay TV and if a viewer wants to watch a football match information is sent to a management centre and then describes the process of transfer of information (encrypted and decrypted at various points) so that the user has access to the decrypted channel.
Michael Short (asker) Feb 20, 2008:
Thanks for the input guys,. I checked on Wikipedia and it talks about "processor register" as "a component inside a CPU for storing information" Is there a difference in the definition of "registry keys" and "register keys" because they both seem to exist.

register key (Some thoughts...)

I don't pretend to be a computer expert, but my first reaction was certainly that it would be 'registry keys', in connection with the Windows 'registry'.

HOWEVER, that said, your second extract would indeed seem to suggest that this key is derived from a 'register' (nothing to do with the Windows 'registry'), in which case, I would have to go back and say that it ought to be 'register key' after all.

Here, I have reached the boundary of my (very limited!) knowledge of computing at this level, so I'll just shut up and let the experts come in to advise.

Good luck!

I think you might need to explain a bit more of the wider context, but my gut instinct is that we are not talking here about the 'registry' as is familiar in connection with Windows etc.

Yes, Michael, there IS a specific difference between the definition of "register" and "registry".

Registers are used in all sorts of places in computers (and other, simpler, devices) — e.g. a FIFO shift register. It simply means in essence 'a place where a number can be stored'

"THE registry" in a Windows system is something quite diffrerent — I confess I have never fully understaood what it IS, but it seems to be some kind of 'database' where Windows can keep track of everything installed on your computer etc.
Peer comment(s):

agree Terry Richards : There are such things as register keys and registry keys but the context about the SSE module makes it clear that this is about registers and not the registry.

Thanks a lot, Terry! It's good to have your expert support!

registry keys (in the registry)

pretty standard stuff

what i mean is just google "registry keys in the rigistry" for example (23K hits) and you'll find plenty of teh stuff you need. Or you can peruse http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Registry (the diambiguation section) for more leads...
Peer comment(s):

neutral Tony M : Yes, but then "register keys" gets some 110k Ghits — so maybe they're both valid terms after all?

registry keys further support

According to this document (which I browsed in HTML version on Google) a registry of encryption keys is maintained.
http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~jones/cs451/slides/crypto4 publi...

It would therefore seem likely that this is what is being referred to.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Tony M : I think that may be a red herring, Miranda; there, they are talking about an external body holding a registry of 'public' keys, which I think is a quite different situation.
