Covert Channel
Covert Channel: A communication channel that enables information transfer in a way that violates security policies, typically by using mechanisms that were not originally intended for communication. This can include using system properties or resources (like processor usage or file modification times) to covertly transmit information, enabling entities to communicate surreptitiously without detection.
Covert storage channel
Covert storage channel: A method of unauthorized data transfer that uses alterations in stored data, such as file sizes or timestamps, to encode and transmit information discreetly.
Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CD)
Continuous Delivery/Deployment (CD): A software development practice where changes to code, such as new features, bug fixes, and configuration changes, are built, tested, and prepared for release in an automated and efficient manner. This approach aims to make releases painless and low-risk events that can be performed at any time, on demand, ensuring the rapid […]
Continuous Full-Cycle Testing
Continuous Full-Cycle Testing: A testing practice that continually evaluates software throughout its development life cycle, from initial design to final release. This approach helps catch and address issues early, reduce the risk of software failures, and ensure that the final product meets quality and security standards.
Continuous Integration (CI)
Continuous Integration (CI): A software development practice where developers regularly merge their changes into a central repository, after which automated builds and tests are run. The main goals of CI are to find and address bugs quicker, improve software quality, and reduce the time it takes to validate and release new software updates.
Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD)
Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD): Software development practices that automate the integration of code changes into a repository and the delivery or deployment of applications to production environments. CI/CD streamlines the development process, reduces the time to release, and enhances the reliability of software releases.
