Glossary 10BASE-T 100BASE-Tx 3DES 802.11b AH CA CRL Denial of Service attack DES Deffie Helman IEEE 802.3 specification for 10 Mbps Ethernet over twisted pair wiring. IEEE 802.3 specification for 100 Mbps Ethernet over twisted pair wiring. 3DES (Triple DES) achieves a high level of security by encrypting the data three times using DES with three different, unrelated keys. IEEE specification for wireless networking at 11 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.5GHz. Authentication Header Certificate Authority. A trusted third-party organization or company that issues digital certificates used to create digital signatures and public-private key pairs. The role of the CA in this process is to guarantee that the individual granted the unique certificate is, in fact, who he or she claims to be. Usually, this means that the CA has an arrangement with a financial institution, such as a credit card company, which provides it with information to confirm an individual's claimed identity. CAs are a critical component in data security and electronic commerce because they guarantee that the two parties exchanging information are really who they claim to be. Certificate Revocation List. Each Certificate Authority (CA) maintains a revoked certificates list. DoS. A hacker attack designed to prevent your computer or network from operating or communicating. The Data Encryption Standard (DES) processes input data that is 64 bits wide, encrypting these values using a 56 bit key. See also 3DES. Deffie Helman shared secret algorithm.Deffie Helman shared secret algorithm is a method for securely exchanging a shared secret between two parties, in real-time, over an untrusted network. A shared secret allows two parties, who may not have ever communicated previously, to encrypt their communications. As such, it is used by several protocols, including Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Internet Protocol Security (IPSec). Glossary 1 May 2004, 202-10030-02
