Across
- 3. cipher available to anyone communicating with a server.
- 6. another word for the data in a packet.
- 9. a powerful machine used to host shared services like web sites or databases.
- 10. when bits arrive at destination in wrong order.
- 11. the first section in a data packet.
- 12. error check which confirms receipt of each packet using ACK.
- 13. an encrypted message.
- 17. cryptographic method where two different keys are used.
- 18. sending data one bit at a time.
- 19. network topology with a central switch.
- 20. data can travel in both direction at the same time.
- 21. an acronym for the protocol used on the Internet.
- 23. data is broken into these units before sending.

Down
- 1. the simplest network topology, using a single cable to connect devices (hint: you can catch one!).
- 2. sending/receiving data in one direction only.
- 4. when data from one channel disturbs another channel.
- 5. one form of parity check.
- 7. a key which is kept secret; only known to the server.
- 8. error checking technique which calculates a number from the data and attaches it to the end of the transmission, then the receiver does the same.
- 9. cryptographic method where sender and recipient both have the same key.
- 11. sending data in both directions, but not simultaneously.
- 14. sending many bits of data simultaneously, usually used for computer internals only.
- 15. method of securing data transmissions so only the recipient can read them.
- 16. method of error checking where you count the 1s.
- 22. rules for communication.
