Firewall

Firewall is considered the first line of defense in protecting private

 

information. For better security, data can be encrypted. A system

 

designed to prevent unauthorized access to or from a private

 

network. Firewalls are frequently used to prevent unauthorized

 

Internet users from accessing private networks connected to the

 

Internet, especially Intranets all messages entering or leaving the

 

intranet pass through the firewall, which examines each message

 

and blocks those that do not meet the specified security criteria.

G

 

Gateway

A gateway links computers that use different data formats

 

together.

Group

Groups consist of several user machines that have similar

 

characteristics such as being in the same department.

HEX

Short for hexadecimal refers to the base-16 number system, which

 

consists of 16 unique symbols: the numbers 0 to 9 and the letters

 

A to F. For example, the decimal number 15 is represented as F in

 

the hexadecimal numbering system. The hexadecimal system is

 

useful because it can represent every byte (8 bits) as two

 

consecutive hexadecimal digits. It is easier for humans to read

 

hexadecimal numbers than binary numbers.

Intranet

This is a private network, inside an organization or company, that

 

uses the same software you will find on the public Internet. The

 

108

 

only difference is that an Intranet is used for internal usage only.

Internet

The Internet is a globally linked system of computers that are

 

logically connected based on the Internet Protocol (IP). The

 

Internet provides different ways to access private and public

 

information worldwide.

Internet

To participate in Internet communications and on Internet

address

Protocol-based networks, a node must have an Internet address

 

that identifies it to the other nodes. All Internet addresses are IP

 

addresses

IP

Internet Protocol is the standard that describes the layout of the

 

basic unit of information on the Internet (the packet) and also

 

details the numerical addressing format used to route the

 

information. Your Internet service provider controls the IP address

 

of any device it connects to the Internet. The IP addresses in your

 

network must conform to IP addressing rules. In smaller LANs,

 

most people will allow the DHCP function of a router or gateway

 

to assign the IP addresses on internal networks.

IP address

IP address is a 32-binary digit number that identifies each sender

 

or receiver of information that is sent in packets across the

 

Internet. For example 80.80.80.69 is an IP address, it is the closet

 

thing the Internet has to telephone numbers. When you “call” that

 

number, using any connection methods, you get connected to the

 

computer that “owns” that IP address.

ISP

Internet Service Provider, is a company that maintains a network

 

that is linked to the Internet by way of a dedicated communication

 

line. An ISP offers the use of its dedicated communication lines

 

to companies or individuals who can’t afford the high monthly

 

cost for a direct connection.
