Appendix C. Glossary

Authentication: The procedure to verify user identity as a security measure. Passwords and digital signatures are the most popular forms.

DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A method for automatically as- signing IP addresses to computers on a local area network. With dynamic ad- dressing, a device can have a different IP address each time it connects to the network. Without DHCP, a network administrator would need to manually as- sign and track static IP addresses for each device on the network. The official specification is defined by RFC 2131.

Dialup: The procedure that activates an analog modem to connect to the ISP.

DNS: Domain Name System. An Internet service that maps alphabetic names into IP addresses. For example, asante.com is a domain name that resolves to the IP address 205.227.167.5.

FTP: File Transfer Protocol. Allows a user on one computer to transfer files to and from another computer over a TCP/IP network. Requires software on both the client and the server. A computer that runs FTP Server software and is used to store files for downloading is called an FTP site or FTP server.

HTML: HyperText Markup Language – a text-based language used to build web pages and interpreted by web browsers. Because the files are not restricted to a single type of operating system, this allows websites to be platform- independent; that is, to be viewed by computers regardless of their platform.

HTTP: HyperText Transmission Protocol. The protocol that computers use for accessing web pages on the Internet.

Internet: A global network of interconnected computers and networks. Users access the Internet via web browsers, e-mail, and other applications.

Intranet: A private network offering services similar to those offered by the Worldwide public Internet, but for internal use by an organization.

IP Address: Internet Protocol Address. It is a unique number used to identify computers in an IP network. The format of the IP address is 4 fields separated by dots (for example: 192.168.132.250).
