  2. Wireless security - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_security

    Wireless security is another aspect of computer security. Organizations may be particularly vulnerable to security breaches [6] caused by rogue access points.. If an employee adds a wireless interface to an unsecured port of a system, they may create a breach in network security that would allow access to confidential materials.

  3. Point-to-multipoint communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-multipoint...

    Often the point to multipoint links are installed to reduce the cost of infrastructure and increase the number of CPE's and connectivity. [2] Point-to-multipoint wireless networks employing directional antennas are affected by the hidden node problem (also called hidden terminal) in case they employ a CSMA/CA medium access control protocol. The ...

  4. Space-division multiple access - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-division_multiple_access

    Space-division multiple access (SDMA) is a channel access method based on creating parallel spatial pipes (focused signal beams) using advanced antenna technology next to higher capacity pipes through spatial multiplexing and/or diversity, by which it is able to offer superior performance in radio multiple access communication systems (where multiple users may need to use the communication ...

  5. Scalability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalability

    Scalability is the property of a system to handle a growing amount of work. One definition for software systems specifies that this may be done by adding resources to the system.

  6. Wireless access point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_access_point

    In computer networking, a wireless access point (WAP) (also just access point (AP)) is a networking hardware device that allows other Wi-Fi devices to connect to a wired network or wireless network. As a standalone device, the AP may have a wired or wireless connection to a switch or router , but in a wireless router it can also be an integral ...

  7. Cryptanalysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptanalysis

    Cryptanalysis is used to breach cryptographic security systems and gain access to the contents of encrypted messages, even if the cryptographic key is unknown. In addition to mathematical analysis of cryptographic algorithms, cryptanalysis includes the study of side-channel attacks that do not target weaknesses in the cryptographic algorithms ...

  8. Wellhead - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wellhead

    The primary purpose of a wellhead is to provide the suspension point and pressure seals for the casing strings that run from the bottom of the hole sections to the surface pressure control equipment. [1] While drilling the oil well, surface pressure control is provided by a blowout preventer (BOP).

  9. Bubble point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bubble_point

    [1] [2] Given that vapor will probably have a different composition than the liquid, the bubble point (along with the dew point) at different compositions are useful data when designing distillation systems. [3] For a single component the bubble point and the dew point are the same and are referred to as the boiling point.
