678GLOSSARY

cryptography	The science of information security. Modern cryptography is typically
	concerned with the processes of scrambling ordinary text (known as
	plain text or clear text) into encrypted text at the sender’s end of a
	connection, and decrypting the encrypted text back into clear text at
	the receiver’s end. Because its security is independent of the channels
	through which the text passes, cryptography is the only way of
	protecting communications over channels that are not under the user’s
	control. The goals of cryptography are confidentiality, integrity,
	nonrepudiation, and authentication. The encrypted information cannot
	be understood by anyone for whom it is not intended, or altered in
	storage or transmission without the alteration being detected. The
	sender cannot later deny the creation or transmission of the
	information, and the sender and receiver can confirm each other’s
	identity and the information’s origin and destination.
CSR	Certificate Signing Request. A message sent by an administrator to
	request a security certificate from a certificate authority (CA). A CSR is
	a text string formatted by Privacy-Enhanced Mail (PEM) protocol
	according to Public Key Cryptography Standard (PKCS) #10. The CSR
	contains the information needed by the certificate authority to generate
	the certificate.
CSV file	Comma-separated values file. A text file that displays tabular data in a
	comma-delimited format, as a list of rows in which each column’s value
	is separated from the next by a comma. A CSV file is useful for
	transferring data between database applications.
cyclic redundancy	See CRC.

dBm	Decibels referred to 1 milliwatt (mW). A measurement of relative power
	related to 1 mW. For example, 20 dBm corresponds to 1020 dBm/10 =
	100 mW.
