Cloud-Native
Cloud-Native: The design and development of applications specifically for the cloud environment. Cloud-native applications are designed to leverage the advantages of cloud computing frameworks, including scalability, flexibility, and resilience. These applications are generally developed using microservices architecture, managed through DevOps processes, and run in containers, enabling them to be easily scaled and modified.
Collision – Networking
Collision – Networking: In computer networking, a collision is an event where multiple data packets transmitted from different devices collide on a network segment. Collisions occur in half-duplex networks, typically Ethernet, leading to packet loss and requiring retransmission. To minimize collisions, collision detection algorithms like CSMA/CD (Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection) are employed.
Clustering of Pseudorandom Numbers
Clustering of Pseudorandom Numbers: This refers to the undesirable pattern in pseudorandom number generation where values are not evenly distributed but rather appear grouped or “clustered” together. Such patterns can compromise the security of cryptographic systems that rely on pseudo-randomness, making them vulnerable to predictability and potential attacks.
Collusion
Collusion: A situation where two or more entities (individuals, systems, or processes) unlawfully or maliciously cooperate to deceive or defraud. In terms of security, this could involve users sharing access credentials, systems working together to bypass security protocols, or processes being manipulated to allow unauthorized actions. Preventing collusion is an important aspect of maintaining robust […]
Clustering
Clustering: The process of grouping a set of objects, nodes, or data points so that objects in the same group (a cluster) are more similar to each other than to those in other groups. In systems and networks, clustering improves performance, availability, and resilience by distributing workloads across multiple nodes or servers.
Command control (C&C) server
Command control (C&C) server: A computer or network that is used by attackers to remotely control and manage the activities of a network of infected computers, known as a botnet. C&C servers are used to send commands, receive data, and coordinate the activities of the botnet. Examples of C&C servers include DarkComet, Mirai, and TrickBot.
