Network Validation Authentication
Network Security Digital Certificate
Biometric Authentication Access Control
Two-Factor Authentication Intrusion Detection System

 

The act of confirming the identity of a user or device, with the purpose of granting access to a network or system. The process of verifying that a network operates efficiently and satisfies the intended performance standards.
An electronic document that confirms the credibility of a sender or receiver in a network communication. Implementing measures to safeguard a network against unauthorized access, improper use, alteration, or disruption of service.
It involves implementing mechanisms that restrict user or device entry to specific resources or areas within a network. Unique physical or behavioral characteristics like fingerprints or iris scans are utilized to verify an individual's identity through the process of authentication.
A monitoring solution, whether it's in the form of software or hardware, which oversees network traffic to acknowledge and take action against potential security threats or attacks. A security process necessitating users to provide two distinct authentication factors, often a password and a unique code.

 

Firewall Security Audit
Password Authentication Credentials
Authentication Factor Hashing
Salt Phishing

 

The process of assessing a network's security measures to identify weaknesses, evaluate potential threats, and suggest enhancements. A network security device that employs predetermined security rules to filter and regulate incoming and outgoing network traffic.
Information used to authenticate a user's identity, typically consisting of a username and password. The process of verifying the identity of a user by requiring them to provide a password.
The process of converting a password into a fixed-length string of characters using a cryptographic algorithm. A piece of information used to authenticate a user's identity, such as a password or biometric data.
A fraudulent attempt to obtain sensitive information, such as passwords, by disguising as a trustworthy entity. A random string of characters added to a password before hashing to protect against rainbow table attacks.

 

Asymmetric Encryption Symmetric Encryption
Public Key Private Key
Key Exchange Encryption
Decryption Certificate Authority

 

A cryptographic system that uses the same key for both encryption and decryption. A cryptographic system that uses two different keys: a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption.
In asymmetric encryption, a key that is kept secret and used for decryption. In asymmetric encryption, a key that is publicly available and used for encryption.
The process of converting plaintext into ciphertext using an encryption algorithm and a key. The process of securely exchanging keys between parties in asymmetric encryption.
An organization that issues digital certificates and verifies the authenticity of entities. The process of converting ciphertext into plaintext using a decryption algorithm and a key.

 

Digital Signature Certificate Revocation
Key Pair

 

The process of invalidating a digital certificate before its expiration date. A cryptographic mechanism that ensures the authenticity and integrity of digital messages or documents.
A pair of cryptographic keys, consisting of a public key and a private key.
