- 3. Key: A cryptographic key kept secret, used in asymmetric encryption algorithms to decrypt data.
- 4. (Message Authentication Code): A short piece of information used to verify the integrity and authenticity of a message.
- 6. A cryptographic operation that ensures data integrity and authenticity, typically used in digital signatures.
- 8. Address: A unique identifier assigned to devices connected to a network, used to route data.
- 10. ID: A unique identifier assigned to a user's session, often stored in cookies to maintain state in web applications.
- 13. Unencrypted, readable data.
- 14. Key: A unique identifier used to authenticate a user or application when accessing an API.
- 15. A piece of data used for authentication or session management, often used in multi-factor authentication.
- 18. Random data added to passwords before hashing to increase security and prevent pre-computed attacks (like rainbow tables).
- 19. A set of data (such as a username and password) used to authenticate and authorize access to systems or services.
Down
- 1. Data: Information about weaknesses in software, systems, or protocols that can be exploited by attackers.
- 2. A string of characters used for authentication to verify a user's identity.
- 3. A unit of data transmitted over a network, often containing information for routing, as well as the payload.
- 5. A digital document used to prove the ownership of a public key, commonly used in SSL/TLS.
- 7. Log: A record of events or activities, often used in cybersecurity to track access and usage of sensitive data.
- 9. Key: A cryptographic key that can be shared openly and is used in asymmetric encryption algorithms.
- 11. A measure of randomness used in cryptography to evaluate the strength of keys or data.
- 12. Encrypted data that is unreadable without the correct decryption key.
- 16. A fixed-length string generated from input data, often used to verify data integrity in cryptographic applications.
- 17. Rule: A set of conditions or patterns used to filter network traffic and allow or block specific data types.
