- Native Libraries
Native Libraries: Collections of subroutines or classes typically written in a low-level language like C or C++ that provide a set of functions to perform a specific set of operations or compute tasks. They are directly compiled into machine code for the platform they are developed on, hence the term 'native'. They can be used by high-level languages or applications on the same platform for better performance or to access low-level resources.
- Network Database Management Model
Network Database Management Model: The Network Database Management Model is a flexible approach for modeling complex data relationships where each record can have multiple parent and child relationships. This contrasts with the hierarchical database model, which restricts records to a single parent, allowing for more versatile relationship mapping. However, this term is somewhat obsolete and is now mainly of historical interest, as contemporary databases typically use relational or non-relational models.
- NIST SP 800-145
NIST SP 800-145: NIST Special Publication 800-145 offers a concise definition and comprehensive understanding of cloud computing, a model that allows ubiquitous, convenient, and on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. It defines essential characteristics, service models, and deployment models for cloud computing, providing the foundations for its adoption and helping organizations understand and navigate the landscape of cloud services.
- NIST SP 800-154
NIST SP 800-154: A publication by the National Institute of Standards and Technology providing guidance on data-centric security within the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC). It emphasizes protecting data in federal information systems by integrating security considerations throughout the SDLC, from design to disposal.
- NIST SP 800-192
NIST SP 800-192: Provides guidance from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) on ensuring the integrity of information system components. It outlines methods to protect system components from unauthorized changes, detect integrity violations, and restore systems to a trusted state. The publication helps organizations implement measures to reduce risks associated with compromising system component integrity, essential for securing information systems.
- NIST SP 800-33
NIST SP 800-33: A publication by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) titled "Underlying Technical Models for Information Technology Security," which provides guidance on technical foundations for IT security. It presents models describing essential security services and the corresponding mechanisms needed to deliver those services. This document assists organizations in understanding principles for constructing secure IT systems, covering aspects like confidentiality, integrity, authentication, and non-repudiation, although it has been superseded by more recent NIST SP 800 series documents offering detailed security guidance.
