EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory)
EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory): A type of non-volatile memory used in computers and other electronic devices to store small amounts of data that must be retained without power. It can be electrically erased and reprogrammed, offering flexibility in data management, while requiring careful handling to avoid unauthorized alterations.
EMI (Electromagnetic Interference)
EMI (Electromagnetic Interference): The disruption of an electrical circuit’s performance due to external electromagnetic radiation or other electrical devices. EMI can interfere with the normal operation of electronic devices, including computers and networking equipment, which can lead to data loss, system errors, or even equipment failure, creating potential risks for data integrity and system availability.
EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer)
EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer): Refers to the digital transfer of money from one bank account to another, either within the same financial institution or across different institutions, via computer-based systems. EFTs include a variety of financial transactions, such as direct deposits, wire transfers, direct debits, online bill payments, and transactions initiated through credit or debit […]
Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)
Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP): A component of the Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) suite used for ensuring secure communication by providing confidentiality, data origin authentication, connectionless integrity, and anti-replay. ESP achieves this by encapsulating the data to be protected, thus hiding the original data and safeguarding the integrity of the transmitted data.
