authentication

The most widely installed Ethernet local area networks (LANs) use ordinary telephone twisted-pair wire. When used on Ethernet, this carrier medium is known at 10BASE-T. 10BASE-T supports Ethernet’s 10 Mbps transmission speed.

100Base-TX is a 100 Mbps local area network, know as Fast Ethernet.

Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation. A speech coding method which uses fewer bits than the traditional PCM (Pulse Code Modulation). ADPCM allows encoding of voice signals in half the space PCM allows.

A frame relay standard extension dealing with the communication and signaling between customer premises and equipment and frame relay network equipment for the purpose of querying network status information.

The telephone transmission of voice, video or image. Telephone transmission and/or switching that is not digital.

The process of identifying an individual, usually based on a username and password combination, although the process can be many more steps. In security systems, authentication is distinct from authorization, which is the process of giving individuals access to system objects based on their identity. Authentication merely ensures that the individual is who he or she claims to be, but says nothing about the access rights of the individual. Authentication in whatever form, is usually followed by authorization.
