D-Link DWS-1008 User Manual
³µ¶
plenum
- A compartment or chamber to which one or more air ducts are connected.
plenum-rated cable
- A type of cable approved by an independent test laboratory for installation in
ducts, plenums, and other air-handling spaces.
PMK
- Pairwise master key. A code derived from a master secret and used as an encryption key for
IEEE 802.11 encryption algorithms. A PMK is also used to derive a pairwise transient key (PTK) for
IEEE 802.11i robust security. See also master secret; PTK.
PoE
- Power over Ethernet. A technology, defined in the developing IEEE 802.3af standard, to deliver
DC power over twisted-pair Ethernet data cables rather than power cords. The electrical current, which
enters the data cable at the power-supply end and comes out at the device end, is kept separate from
the data signal so neither interferes with the other.
policy
- A formal set of statements that define the way a network’s resources are allocated among its
clients—individual users, departments, host computers, or applications. Resources are statically or
dynamically allocated by such factors as time of day, client authorization priorities, and availability of
resources.
port address translation
- See PAT.
Power over Ethernet
- See PoE.
pre-master secret
- A key generated during the handshake process in Transport Layer Security (TLS)
protocol negotiations and used to derive a master secret.
preshared key
- See PSK.
PRF
- Pseudorandom function. A function that produces effectively unpredictable output. A PRF can use
multiple iterations of one or more hash algorithms to achieve its output. The Transport Layer Security
(TLS) protocol defines a specific PRF for deriving keying material.
Privacy-Enhanced Mail
- See PEM.
private key
- In cryptography, one of a pair of keys, one public and one private, that are created with
the same algorithm for encrypting and decrypting messages and digital signatures. The private key is
provided to only the requestor and never shared. The requestor uses the private key to decrypt text that
has been encrypted with the public key by someone else. See also PKI; public key.
PRNG
- Pseudorandom number generator. An algorithm of predictable behavior that generates a
sequence of numbers with little or no discernible order, except for broad statistical patterns.
Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol
- See PEAP.
Protocol Independent Multicast protocol
- See PIM.
pseudorandom function
- See PRF.
pseudorandom number generator
- See PRNG.
