A common address that is used to direct (broadcast) a message to all systems on a network. The broadcast address is based upon the network address and the subnet mask. 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 entity granting the unique certificate is, in fact, who it claims to be. This means that the CA usually has an arrangement with the requesting entity to confirm a 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.

A type of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) that provides authentication and data encryption through a certificate that is digitally signed by a Certificate Authority. Classless Inter-Domain Routing is a way of specifying a range of addresses using an arbitrary number of bits.

A set of features that enable administrators to enforce corporate email policies, reduce legal liability, and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. These features include annotations, streamlined filter creation using multiple criteria and multiple actions, flexible sender specification, dictionary filters, and attachment management.
