KA9Q
|
Popular implementation of TCP/IP and associated protocols for amateur packet radio systems.
|
Karn's algorithm
|
Algorithm that improves round-trip time estimations by helping transport layer protocols distinguish between good and bad round-trip time samples.
|
Kb
|
kilobit. Approximately 1,000 bits.
|
KB
|
kilobyte. Approximately 1,000 bytes.
|
kbps
|
kilobits per second. A bit rate expressed in thousands of bits per second.
|
kBps
|
kilobytes per second. A bit rate expressed in thousands of bytes per second.
|
keepalive interval
|
Period of time between each keepalive message sent by a network device.
|
keepalive message
|
Message sent by one network device to inform another network device that the virtual circuit between the two is still active.
|
KEK
|
key-encrypting key. Cryptographic key that is used to encrypt other keys, either DEKs or other KEKs, but usually is not used to encrypt application data.
|
Kerberos
|
Developing standard for authenticating network users. Kerberos offers two key benefits: it functions in a multivendor network, and it does not transmit passwords over the network.
|
Kermit
|
Popular file-transfer and terminal-emulation program.
|
key distribution
|
Process that delivers a cryptographic key from the location where it is generated to the locations where it is used in a cryptographic algorithm.
|
key establishment (algorithm or protocol)
|
Process that combines the key generation and key distribution steps needed to set up or install a secure communication association.
|
key pair
|
Set of mathematically related keys—a public key and a private key—that are used for asymmetric cryptography and are generated in a way that makes it computationally infeasible to derive the private key from knowledge of the public key.
|
key recovery
|
1. Process for learning the value of a cryptographic key that previously was used to perform some cryptographic operation.
|
2. Techniques that provide an intentional, alternate (that is, secondary) means to access the key used for data confidentiality service in an encrypted association.
