SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language)
SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language): A standard protocol used for securely exchanging authentication and authorization data between online service providers and identity providers. It is used in web security to enable single sign-on (SSO) and provide users with access to multiple services using a single set of credentials. Examples of SAML include using SAML to […]
Routed protocols
Routed Protocols: Protocols responsible for carrying user data across networks. These protocols encapsulate the data and ensure it is transmitted across different networks. Examples of routed protocols include Internet Protocol (IP) and Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX). They rely on routing protocols to determine the path the data should take across networks. These should not be […]
Sandbox
Sandbox: A controlled environment used for testing or running potentially dangerous or suspicious code. It is used in cybersecurity to prevent malicious software from damaging systems or networks. Examples include a web browser’s sandbox for running untrusted code, a malware analysis sandbox for studying malware behavior, and a network sandbox for testing new security protocols.
Router
Router: A networking device that connects multiple networks and forwards data packets between them. It is used to connect different devices and networks, allowing them to communicate with each other. Examples include a home router that connects a local network to the internet or a corporate router that connects multiple office locations.
Sanitize
Sanitize: The process of removing or neutralizing sensitive data or information from a system or database to protect privacy and prevent unauthorized access. Examples include removing personally identifiable information from a database before sharing it, wiping a computer’s hard drive before disposal, and sanitizing sensitive documents.
Routing Information Base (RIB)
Routing Information Base (RIB): A data table stored in a router or a networked computer that lists the routes to particular network destinations. The RIB contains information about the topology of the network immediately around the router, including the cost (such as path length) associated with reaching each network destination. A router uses this information […]
