Trusted List (Trust Store)

Trusted List (Trust Store): A repository within a computer system or application that stores trusted certificates from certificate authorities (CAs). Trust stores help verify the authenticity of digital certificates and establish secure connections through SSL/TLS protocols.

Trusted path

Trusted path: A secure route or channel between a user and the system, ensuring that the user is directly communicating with the legitimate system and not an imposter. This route is protected against interception, modification, or mimicry by unauthorized or malicious entities.

Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

Trusted Platform Module (TPM): TPM is a secure crypto-processor that is designed to carry out cryptographic operations. The chip includes multiple physical security mechanisms to make it tamper-resistant, and it can be used to secure hardware through integrated cryptographic keys.

Trusted process

Trusted process: A procedure that has been vetted and authorized to access resources and information beyond the restrictions imposed on most processes. It has the necessary permissions to perform sensitive operations, making it crucial that its integrity and security are maintained.

Transport Mode (in IPSec)

Transport Mode (in IPSec): In IPSec, transport mode encrypts only the payload of the IP packet, not the IP header itself, which is left intact. It’s mainly used for end-to-end communications, such as encrypting data for VPN connections between two hosts.

Trusted system

Trusted system: A system that has been thoroughly reviewed, tested, and proven to reliably enforce security policies. The trust in these systems comes from their proven ability to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the data they handle, even in the presence of threats.
