  2. Message authentication code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Message_authentication_code

    The simplest such pairwise independent hash function is defined by the random key, key = (a, b), and the MAC tag for a message m is computed as tag = (am + b) mod p, where p is prime. More generally, k -independent hashing functions provide a secure message authentication code as long as the key is used less than k times for k -ways independent ...

  3. MAC address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address

    A MAC address (short for medium access control address or media access control address) is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface controller (NIC) for use as a network address in communications within a network segment.

  4. Access key - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Access_key

    The value of an element’s accesskey attribute is the key the user will press (typically in combination with one or more other keys, as defined by the browser) in order to activate or focus that element. Though the accesskey attribute sets the key that can be pressed, it does not automatically notify the user of the bound access key.

  5. HMAC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMAC

    In cryptography, an HMAC (sometimes expanded as either keyed-hash message authentication code or hash-based message authentication code) is a specific type of message authentication code (MAC) involving a cryptographic hash function and a secret cryptographic key. As with any MAC, it may be used to simultaneously verify both the data integrity ...

  6. Logical link control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_link_control

    In the IEEE 802 reference model of computer networking, the logical link control (LLC) data communication protocol layer is the upper sublayer of the data link layer (layer 2) of the seven-layer OSI model. The LLC sublayer acts as an interface between the medium access control (MAC) sublayer and the network layer.

  7. Control character - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_character

    ASCII-based keyboards have a key labelled "Control", "Ctrl", or (rarely) "Cntl" which is used much like a shift key, being pressed in combination with another letter or symbol key. In one implementation, the control key generates the code 64 places below the code for the (generally) uppercase letter it is pressed in combination with (i.e ...

  8. Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Challenge-Handshake...

    As the PPP sends data unencrypted and "in the clear", CHAP is vulnerable to any attacker who can observe the PPP session. An attacker can see the user's name, CHAP challenge, CHAP response, and any other information associated with the PPP session. The attacker can then mount an offline dictionary attack in order to obtain the original password.

  9. MAC filtering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_filtering

    In computer networking, MAC address filtering is a network access control method whereby the MAC address assigned to each network interface controller is used to determine access to the network. MAC addresses are uniquely assigned to each card, so using MAC filtering on a network permits and denies network access to specific devices through the ...
