private key

The part of the key in public key cryptography that you keep to yourself. If someone other than you gets your private key, it becomes useful. Possible results of losing your key include allowing anyone to read encrypted data sent to you (since they&can decrypt data using your key), and allowing others to pretend to be you electronically (since they can digitally sign documents).
