What is Key escrow?..

Answer / Sarika Choubey

Key Escrow refers to a system where a trusted third party (escrow agent) holds and manages cryptographic keys on behalf of the communicating parties. This allows for decryption of encrypted messages in case of legal interception or emergency situations. The key escrow system can provide law enforcement with access to encrypted communication when necessary, but it raises concerns about privacy and trust.
