French term or phrase: bi-clé

Est-ce que quelqu'un sait s'il y a une traduction pour "bi-clé". Je pensais à "dual-key"...

MinEFI term in a document about secure communication via the internet.

"Un bi-clé est un couple composé d'une clé privée (devant être conservée secrète) et d'une clé publique, nécessaire à la mise en œuvre d'une prestation de cryptographie basée sur des algorithmes asymétriques.
Il existe deux types de bi-clés :les bi-clés de signature dont la clé privée est utilisée à des fins de signature et la clé publique à des fins de vérifications
les bi-clés d'échange de clé ou de transport de clé, par lesquels le transport des clés secrètes symétriques (de session) est effectué. La clé privée d'un bi-clé d'échange de clé est aussi appelée "clé privée de confidentialité".
Dans le cadre de XXX, le même bi-clé assure la signature et l'échange de clé.

Thanks in advance for your ideas.

dual key

Explanation:
Oui, vous avez tout à fait raison.
Vous trouverez plusieurs références à la "dual key encryption" - un système à deux clés (une clé privée, une clé publique, c'est-à-dire visible de tous)

Par exemple (mais il y en a beaucoup d'autres)

http://www.gamedev.net/reference/articles/article1630.asp

One of the systems developed to overcome this situation is the dual key encryption, which is a commonly used system for PGP based encryption as some of you may already know.

It works by generating two keys, more commonly the public key and the private key. The public key would be sent to a person to encrypt the data, and after that it's no longer used, and the private key remains the only one capable of decrypting the data.
