Demilitarized zone

DMZ: A single computer or group of computers that can

be accessed by both users on the Internet as well as

users on the Local Network, but that is not protected by

the same security as the Local Network.

DHCP

Dynamic

Host

Configuration

Protocol:

Used

to

automatically assign IP addresses from a predefined pool

of addresses to computers or devices that request them.

Digital certificate

An electronic method of providing credentials to a server

in order to have access to it or a network.

Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum

DSSS: Modulation technique used by 802.11b wireless

devices.

DMZ

“Demilitarized Zone”. A computer that logically sits in a

“no

-mans-

land” between the LAN and the WAN. The

DMZ computer trades some of the protection of the

router’s security mechanisms for the convenience

of

being directly addressable from the Internet.

DNS

Domain Name System: Translates Domain Names to IP

addresses.

Domain name

A name that is associated with an IP address.

Download

To send a request from one computer to another and

have the file transmitted back to the requesting computer.

DSL

Digital

Subscriber

Line.

High

bandwidth

Internet

connection over telephone lines.

Duplex

Sending and Receiving data transmissions at the same

time.

Dynamic DNS service

Dynamic DNS is provided by companies to allow users

with Dynamic IP addresses to obtain a Domain Name

that will always be linked to their changing IP address.

The IP address is updated by either client software

running on a computer or by a router that supports

Dynamic DNS, whenever the IP address changes.

Dynamic IP address

IP address that is assigned by a DHCP server and that

may change. Cable Internet providers usually use this

method to assign IP addresses to their customers.

EAP

Extensible Authentication Protocol.

Email

Electronic Mail is a computer-stored message that is
