A cryptosystem in which encryption and decryption are performed independently of the transmission and reception functions.
Industry:Telecommunications
A cryptosystem or process used for authentication.
Industry:Telecommunications
A cryptosystem performing or controlling a function as an integral element of a larger system or subsystem.
Industry:Telecommunications
A current-carrying return path from a load back to the signal source, i.e., the low side of the closed loop energy transfer circuit between a source-load pair.
Industry:Telecommunications
A current-multiplying phenomenon that occurs in a semiconductor photodiode that is reverse-biased just below its breakdown voltage. Note: Under such a condition, photocurrent carriers, i.e., electrons, are swept across the junction with sufficient energy to ionize additional bonds, creating additional electron-hole pairs in a regenerative action.
Industry:Telecommunications
A data bank that contains path-quality analyses used to support path selection and routing determination. Note: In adaptive radio automatic link establishment, path quality matrices contain path quality data for single-link and multilink paths.
Industry:Telecommunications
A data channel in combination with its associated signaling terminal equipment.
Industry:Telecommunications
A data communications link that interconnects three or more terminals.
Industry:Telecommunications
A data communications network that (a) covers an area larger than a campus area network and smaller than a wide area network (WAN,) (b) interconnects two or more LANs, and (c) usually covers an entire metropolitan area, such as a large city and its suburbs.
Industry:Telecommunications
A data communications system that (a) lies within a limited spatial area, (b) has a specific user group, (c) has a specific topology, and (d) is not a public switched telecommunications network, but may be connected to one. Note 1: LANs are usually restricted to relatively small areas, such as rooms, buildings, ships, and aircraft. Note 2: An interconnection of LANs within a limited geographical area, such as a military base, is commonly referred to as a campus area network. An interconnection of LANs over a city-wide geographical area is commonly called a metropolitan area network (MAN. ) An interconnection of LANs over large geographical areas, such as nationwide, is commonly called a wide area network (WAN. ) Note 3: LANs are not subject to public telecommunications regulations.
