  2. Name–value pair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name–value_pair

    Example of a web form with name-value pairs. A name–value pair, also called an attributevalue pair, key–value pair, or field–value pair, is a fundamental data representation in computing systems and applications. Designers often desire an open-ended data structure that allows for future extension without modifying existing code or data.

  3. Serialization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serialization

    Flow diagram. In computing, serialization (or serialisation, also referred to as pickling in Python) is the process of translating a data structure or object state into a format that can be stored (e.g. files in secondary storage devices, data buffers in primary storage devices) or transmitted (e.g. data streams over computer networks) and reconstructed later (possibly in a different computer ...

  4. List of file signatures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_file_signatures

    In the table below, the column "ISO 8859-1" shows how the file signature appears when interpreted as text in the common ISO 8859-1 encoding, with unprintable characters represented as the control code abbreviation or symbol, or codepage 1252 character where available, or a box otherwise. In some cases the space character is shown as ␠.

  5. Autocorrelation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocorrelation

    Autocorrelation, sometimes known as serial correlation in the discrete time case, is the correlation of a signal with a delayed copy of itself as a function of delay. Informally, it is the similarity between observations of a random variable as a function of the time lag between them.

  6. Attribute (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attribute_(computing)

    An attribute in a relational database can be represented as a column or field. In computing, an attribute is a specification that defines a property of an object, element, or file. It may also refer to or set the specific value for a given instance of such. For clarity, attributes should more correctly be considered metadata. An attribute is ...

  7. Attribute-based encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attribute-based_encryption

    Attribute-based encryption is a generalisation of public-key encryption which enables fine grained access control of encrypted data using authorisation policies.The secret key of a user and the ciphertext are dependent upon attributes (e.g. their email address, the country in which they live, or the kind of subscription they have).

  8. Candidate key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candidate_key

    The columns in a candidate key are called prime attributes, [3] and a column that does not occur in any candidate key is called a non-prime attribute. Every relation without NULL values will have at least one candidate key: Since there cannot be duplicate rows, the set of all columns is a superkey, and if that is not minimal, some subset of ...

  9. NOP (code) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOP_(code)

    The Python programming language has a pass statement which has no effect when executed and thus serves as a NOP. It is primarily used to ensure correct syntax due to Python's indentation-sensitive syntax ; for example the syntax for definition of a class requires an indented block with the class logic, which has to be expressed as pass when it ...
