Running Key Cipher
Running Key Cipher: A type of cipher that uses a long, pre-determined piece of text (known as the “key”) to encrypt and decrypt messages. It is used in cryptography to encode and decode secret messages. Examples of running key cipher include using a book as the key to encrypt a message or using a string […]
Rollback
Rollback: The reversal of changes to a system, often used to restore the system to a previous state in the event of a problem. It is used to undo changes that have caused issues or to return to a well-known state. Examples include rolling back a software update that caused system instability or rolling back […]
Runtime
Runtime: The period when a program or process is running or executing within a system after being loaded into memory. During this period, the program is operational and can interact with system resources (like memory and CPU) and with users. Monitoring and managing runtime is essential for performance optimization, error handling, and ensuring the smooth […]
RFC 2104
RFC 2104: A Request for Comments (RFC) that specifies the HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code) construction for creating a message authentication code derived from a cryptographic hash function and a secret key. HMAC is widely used for data integrity and authentication, ensuring that messages are not altered or tampered with in transit.
RFC 3161
RFC 3161: This RFC defines a protocol for Internet X.509 Public Key Infrastructure Time-Stamp Protocol (TSP). It provides a means for proving that a set of data existed at a certain point in time and is used in digital signatures, software distribution, and other fields where time-stamping is critical for establishing data integrity and non-repudiation.
RFC 6960
RFC 6960: An RFC that specifies the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP), which is used for obtaining the revocation status of an X.509 digital certificate. OCSP serves as an alternative to certificate revocation lists (CRLs), providing more real-time, on-demand information about whether a certificate is still valid.
