  2. Master–slave (technology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master–slave_(technology)

    The term master is used in some technology contexts that do not refer to a relationship of control. Master may be used to mean a copy that has more significance than other copies in which case the term is an absolute concept; not a relationship. Sometimes the term master-slave is used in contexts that do not imply a controlling relationship.

    Typically, the keys would be of high value - meaning there would be a significant, negative impact to the owner of the key if it were compromised. The functions of an HSM are: onboard secure cryptographic key generation, onboard secure cryptographic key storage, at least for the top level and most sensitive keys, which are often called master keys,

  4. Master keying - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_keying

    For example, master keyed pin tumbler locks often have two shear points at each pin position, one for the change key and one for the master key. A far more secure (and more expensive) system has two cylinders in each lock, one for the change key and one for the master key. Master keyed lock systems generally reduce overall security. [2]

    First, the block device is encrypted using a master key. This master key is encrypted with each active user key. [6] User keys are derived from passphrases, FIDO2 security keys, TPMs or smart cards. [7] [8] The multi-layer approach allows users to change their passphrase without re-encrypting the whole block device. Key slots can contain ...

  6. Systems architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_architecture

    Example of a high-level systems architecture for a computer. A system architecture is the conceptual model that defines the structure, behavior, and views of a system. [1] An architecture description is a formal description and representation of a system, organized in a way that supports reasoning about the structures and behaviors of the system.

  7. Comparison of instruction set architectures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_instruction...

    An instruction set architecture (ISA) is an abstract model of a computer, also referred to as computer architecture.A realization of an ISA is called an implementation.An ISA permits multiple implementations that may vary in performance, physical size, and monetary cost (among other things); because the ISA serves as the interface between software and hardware.

  8. Symmetric multiprocessing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetric_multiprocessing

    Diagram of a symmetric multiprocessing system. Symmetric multiprocessing or shared-memory multiprocessing [1] (SMP) involves a multiprocessor computer hardware and software architecture where two or more identical processors are connected to a single, shared main memory, have full access to all input and output devices, and are controlled by a single operating system instance that treats all ...

    Examples include Circuit Breaker. [1] [2] [3] Software Architecture Style refers to a high-level structural organization that defines the overall system organization, specifying how components are organized, how they interact, and the constraints on those interactions. Architecture styles typically include a vocabulary of component and ...
