Secure hash standard
Secure hash standard: A set of cryptographic hash functions that include SHA-1, SHA-2, and SHA-3, as approved and published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the United States. These algorithms are widely used to verify data integrity and authenticity. The Secure Hash Standard plays a critical role in many security protocols […]
Secure Hashing Algorithm (SHA-1)
Secure Hashing Algorithm (SHA-1): A cryptographic hash function that produces a 160-bit hash value, which is typically rendered as a 40-digit hexadecimal number. SHA-1 is part of the Secure Hash Algorithm family designed by the National Security Agency (NSA) and published by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). It was widely used for […]
Scoping
Scoping: The process of defining and delimiting the boundaries and parameters of a project, system, or process. It is used to clarify the objectives, requirements, and constraints of a project and ensure its feasibility and success. Examples include a scoping study for identifying and assessing the potential impacts of a development project, a scoping exercise […]
Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (S-HTTP)
Secure Hypertext Transfer Protocol (S-HTTP): S-HTTP was an extension of HTTP to support the secure exchange of data over the internet. However, it has not been widely adopted, and its use has been largely superseded by HTTPS, which combines HTTP with the SSL/TLS protocol to provide a secure browsing experience.
Screen lock
Screen lock: A security feature that requires a user to provide authentication, such as a password, pattern, or biometric verification, to access a device after the screen has been idle for a certain period of time. The purpose of a screen lock is to protect the device and its contents from unauthorized access. In scenarios […]
Secure Shell (SSH)
Secure Shell (SSH): A network protocol that enables secure remote login and other secure network services over an unsecured network. SSH provides robust authentication and secure encrypted data communication between two computers connecting over an open network, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of data transmitted. It is widely used by network administrators for remotely controlling […]
