TRIPLE DIGIT ENCRYPTION STANDARD

In cryptography, Triple DES (3DES or TDES), officially the Triple Data Encryption Algorithm (TDEA or Triple DEA), is a symmetric-key block cipher, which applies the DES cipher algorithm three times to each data block. The Data Encryption Standard's (DES) 56-bit key is no longer considered adequate in the face of modern cryptanalytic techniques and supercomputing power. However, an adapted version of DES, Triple DES (3DES), uses the same algorithm to produce a more secure encryption.

AUTHENTICATION, AUTHORIZATION AND ACCOUNTING

AAA refers to Authentication, Authorization and Accounting. It is used to refer to a family of protocols that mediate network access.

Two network protocols providing this functionality are particularly popular: the RADIUS protocol,^[1] and its newer Diameter counterpart.^[2][3]

ATTRIBUTE BASED ACCESS CONTROL

Attribute-based access control (ABAC), also known as policy-based access control, defines an access control paradigm whereby access rights are granted to users through the use of policies which combine attributes together.

ADVANCED ENCRYPTION STANDARD

The Advanced Encryption Standard, or AES, is a symmetric block cipher chosen by the U.S. government to protect classified information and is implemented in software and hardware throughout the world to encrypt sensitive data.

14 ROUNDS, 256 BIT KEYS

The Advanced Encryption Standard, or AES, is a symmetric block cipher chosen by the U.S. government to protect classified information and is implemented in software and hardware throughout the world to encrypt sensitive data.

AUTHENTICATION HEADER

An Authentication Header or AH is a security mechanism used in authenticating the origins of datagrams (packets of data transmitted under Internet Protocol or IP conditions), and in guaranteeing the integrity of the information that's being sent.

APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE

An application programming interface (API) is an interface or communication protocol between different parts of a computer program intended to simplify the implementation and maintainance of software. An API may be for a web-based system, operating system, database system, computer hardware, or software library.
