Tableau de Concordance 1970-01-01
The "Tableau de Concordance" (or Concordance Table) is a tool often used in the fields of linguistics, translation, and academic writing to provide a systematic comparison or alignment between different sets of data, texts, or documents. It is commonly employed in bilingual dictionaries, glossaries, or educational materials to aid in understanding how terms or concepts correlate across languages.
Tokenization (data security) 1970-01-01
Tokenization is a data security technique used to protect sensitive information by replacing it with non-sensitive placeholders, known as tokens. These tokens can be used in place of the actual data in transactions or processes, significantly reducing the risk of exposing sensitive information, such as credit card numbers, social security numbers, or personal identification data. ### Key Aspects of Tokenization: 1. **Substitution**: The original sensitive data is replaced with a randomly generated string of characters (the token).
Trace zero cryptography 1970-01-01
Trace zero cryptography is a concept that relates to cryptographic systems designed to provide privacy and anonymity by ensuring that users' transactions or communications cannot be traced back to them. While the term "trace zero cryptography" is not widely known or universally defined, it generally involves techniques that minimize or eliminate the ability to link cryptographic keys or transaction history to their real-world identities.
Transmission security 1970-01-01
Transmission security (TRANSEC) refers to the measures and practices designed to protect information as it is transmitted over communication channels from interception, exploitation, or unauthorized access. It encompasses a variety of techniques and technologies that ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data while in transit. Key aspects of transmission security include: 1. **Encryption**: The process of converting plaintext into encoded information (ciphertext) so that it can only be read by someone who has the appropriate decryption key.
Tropical cryptography 1970-01-01
Tropical cryptography is a field of study that combines ideas from tropical mathematics and cryptography. Tropical mathematics is a branch of mathematics that deals with the "tropical semiring," where the usual operations of addition and multiplication are replaced by operations that involve taking minimum (or maximum) and addition, respectively. In tropical mathematics, for example, the tropical addition of two numbers is the minimum of the two, and the tropical multiplication is the usual addition.
Trusted Computing 1970-01-01
Trusted Computing is a concept that refers to a set of technologies and standards designed to enhance the security of computing devices and networks. It aims to provide a more secure computing environment through hardware-based security mechanisms that enable the protection of data and the integrity of systems.
Undeniable signature 1970-01-01
An **undeniable signature** is a cryptographic concept that allows a signer to produce a signature on a message in such a way that they cannot later deny having signed that message, but the recipient of the signature is unable to prove to anyone else that the signer actually signed it. This contrasts with traditional digital signatures, where the signature can be verified by anyone who possesses the signer's public key.

Verifiable secret sharing 1970-01-01
Verifiable Secret Sharing (VSS) is a cryptographic method used for distributing a secret among multiple participants (or "shareholders") in such a way that: 1. **The secret can be reconstructed**: A certain number of participants, known as the threshold, must come together to reconstruct the original secret. 2. **The shares are correct**: Each participant receives a share of the secret, and they can verify that their share is correct without needing access to the secret itself.
Visual cryptography 1970-01-01
Visual cryptography is a cryptographic technique that allows for the encryption of visual information (such as images) in such a way that decryption can be performed visually without requiring complex computations. The concept was introduced by Adi Shamir in 1994. In visual cryptography, an image is divided into multiple shares (or parts) in such a way that each share alone does not reveal any information about the original image.
Voice inversion 1970-01-01
Voice inversion is a method used to obscure or scramble audio signals, particularly in the context of communication systems. This technique is often employed to protect the privacy of conversations or to secure sensitive information. In practical terms, voice inversion involves altering the audio signal in such a way that it becomes unintelligible to anyone who intercepts it but can be easily reversed or decoded by the intended recipient with knowledge of the process.
WYSIWYS 1970-01-01
WYSIWYS stands for "What You See Is What You Share." It is a term used in the context of collaborative environments, particularly in software for online collaboration and content creation. The concept emphasizes that the content one sees in a collaborative tool is exactly what will be shared or made available to others.
