Cross Domain Solution
Cross Domain Solution: A technology that allows the transfer of data between networks with different security levels while ensuring that security policies for each network are not violated. It ensures the secure sharing of information across different security domains, preventing unauthorized access and data leakage, and is often used in organizations dealing with highly sensitive […]
Crossover Error Rate (CER)
Crossover Error Rate (CER): In biometrics, the Crossover Error Rate (CER) is a critical performance metric that represents the point at which the False Acceptance Rate (FAR), the measure of the likelihood that the system incorrectly grants access to an unauthorized user, equals the False Rejection Rate (FRR), the measure of the likelihood of the […]
Cross-Site Request Forgery (XSRF)
Cross-Site Request Forgery (XSRF): A cyber-attack that tricks a web browser into executing an unwanted action in a web application to which a user is logged in. It exploits the trust that a site has for the user’s browser, potentially leading to actions like changing user settings, posting content without consent, or initiating transactions. Security […]
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): A type of security vulnerability that targets web applications, XSS enables attackers to inject malicious scripts into webpages viewed by other users. By exploiting the trust a user has for a particular site, these scripts can access any cookies, session tokens, or other sensitive information retained by the user’s browser related to […]
Crosstalk
Crosstalk: An electromagnetic interference phenomenon where a signal transmitted on one circuit or channel creates an unwanted effect on another circuit or channel. In telecommunications and networking, crosstalk can lead to degradation of signal quality, resulting in communication errors or loss of data. It is more prevalent in older or improperly shielded cables and is […]
Cryptanalysis
Cryptanalysis: The study and practice of examining and breaking cryptographic systems, understanding how they work, and finding methods to defeat or weaken them. It involves analyzing the encrypted data (ciphertext) to discover the hidden structures and derive the original information (plaintext) without necessarily having access to the secret key used. Cryptanalysis is used both for […]
