  2. Tor (network) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(network)

    Tor aims to conceal its users' identities and their online activity from surveillance and traffic analysis by separating identification and routing. It is an implementation of onion routing, which encrypts and then randomly bounces communications through a network of relays run by volunteers around the globe.

  3. User identifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_identifier

    User identifier. Unix-like operating systems identify a user by a value called a user identifier, often abbreviated to user ID or UID. The UID, along with the group identifier (GID) and other access control criteria, is used to determine which system resources a user can access. The password file maps textual user names to UIDs.

  4. Routing table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_table

    In computer networking, a routing table, or routing information base (RIB), is a data table stored in a router or a network host that lists the routes to particular network destinations, and in some cases, metrics (distances) associated with those routes. The routing table contains information about the topology of the network immediately ...

  5. Onion routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onion_routing

    Onion routing is a technique for anonymous communication over a computer network. In an onion network , messages are encapsulated in layers of encryption , analogous to the layers of an onion . The encrypted data is transmitted through a series of network nodes called " onion routers ," each of which "peels" away a single layer, revealing the ...

  6. Dark web - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Web

    Tor browsers create encrypted entry points and pathways for the user, allowing their dark web searches and actions to be anonymous. [12] Identities and locations of darknet users stay anonymous and cannot be tracked due to the layered encryption system. The darknet encryption technology routes users' data through a large number of intermediate ...

  7. User Datagram Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Datagram_Protocol

    t. e. In computer networking, the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is one of the core communication protocols of the Internet protocol suite used to send messages (transported as datagrams in packets) to other hosts on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. Within an IP network, UDP does not require prior communication to set up communication channels ...

  8. Check digit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_digit

    The final digit of a Universal Product Code, International Article Number, Global Location Number or Global Trade Item Number is a check digit computed as follows: [3] [4]. Add the digits in the odd-numbered positions from the left (first, third, fifth, etc.—not including the check digit) together and multiply by three.

  9. Replay attack - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replay_attack

    Illustration of a replay attack. Alice (A) sends her hashed password to Bob (B). Eve (E) sniffs the hash and replays it. Suppose Alice wants to prove her identity to Bob. . Bob requests her password as proof of identity, which Alice dutifully provides (possibly after some transformation like hashing, or even salting, the password); meanwhile, Eve is eavesdropping on the conversation and keeps ...
