v. t. e. Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure ( HTTPS) is an extension of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). It uses encryption for secure communication over a computer network, and is widely used on the Internet. [ 1][ 2] In HTTPS, the communication protocol is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS) or, formerly, Secure Sockets ...
A hardware security module ( HSM) is a physical computing device that safeguards and manages secrets (most importantly digital keys ), performs encryption and decryption functions for digital signatures, strong authentication and other cryptographic functions. [ 1] These modules traditionally come in the form of a plug-in card or an external ...
Host Based Security System. Host Based Security System ( HBSS) is the official name given to the United States Department of Defense (DOD) commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) suite of software applications used within the DOD to monitor, detect, and defend the DOD computer networks and systems. The Enterprise-wide Information Assurance and computer ...
Network access control is a computer networking solution that uses a set of protocols to define and implement a policy that describes how to secure access to network nodes by devices when they initially attempt to access the network. [ 3] NAC might integrate the automatic remediation process (fixing non-compliant nodes before allowing access ...
Extensible Authentication Protocol ( EAP) is an authentication framework frequently used in network and internet connections. It is defined in RFC 3748, which made RFC 2284 obsolete, and is updated by RFC 5247 . EAP is an authentication framework for providing the transport and usage of material and parameters generated by EAP methods.
A secure access module. A Secure Access Module (SAM), also known as a Secure Application Module, is a piece of cryptographic hardware typically used by smart card card readers to perform mutual key authentication. [ 1][ 2][ 3] SAMs can be used to manage access in a variety of contexts, such as public transport fare collection and point of sale ...
Access control. A sailor checks an identification card (ID) before allowing a vehicle to enter a military installation. In physical security and information security, access control ( AC) is the selective restriction of access to a place or other resource, while access management describes the process. The act of accessing may mean consuming ...
The Secure Shell Protocol ( SSH) is a cryptographic network protocol for operating network services securely over an unsecured network. [ 1] Its most notable applications are remote login and command-line execution. SSH was designed for Unix-like operating systems as a replacement for Telnet and unsecured remote Unix shell protocols, such as ...
