The public key can be used to encrypt messages which only the holder of the corresponding private key can decrypt. Alternatively, the holder of a private key can "digitally sign" a message by encrypting a digest of the message with his private key. By successfully decrypting the digest with the previously publish..."

It offers encryption using a shared key derived using a secure key exchange mechanism, and allows one or both ends to identify themselves using digital certificates. It has superceded SSL, but "SSL" is still often used to describe a link actually secured by TLS."

It offers encryption using a shared key derived using a secure key exchange mechanism, and allows one or both ends to identify themselves using digital certificates. SSL went through several major versions, but 3.0 was deprecated in 2015 and has been superseded by TLS. Nevertheless, "SSL" is still often used to describe a link actually secured..." current

For example a 3 digit PIN or combination lock has 1,000 possible values and so has almost 10 bits of entropy, because 10 bits allows you to count up to 1,024. The entropy of a password or encryption key can be used directly to estimate how long it might take to crack, by trying all possible values." current

In an audio system, a high S/N ratio tells you that any background hiss will be imperceptible, and in data communications, the S/N ratio directly affects the rate at which you can transmit data." current
• 21:1421:14, 19 February 2024 diff hist +355‎ N Glossary:Decibel ‎ Created page with "Decibels (dB) are a measure of relative power, for example by what factor does an amplifier increase the power of a signal, or by what factor is a TV signal reduced by losses in the cable between the aerial and the receiver. It's a logarithmic scale, 3dB representing a doubling of power, hence the dB gains or losses in a signal path can simply be added."
• 17:5217:52, 19 February 2024 diff hist +315‎ N Glossary:Noise ‎ Created page with "Noise, in the context of electronics and communications, is any unwanted interference tending to mask a desired signal. It can never be eliminated entirely as the electronics we're surrounded with all generates a certain amount of interference, and an electric current itself consists of a random flow of electrons." current

For example, a document or spreadsheet may contain information about the author; a digital camera will normally embed information about the exposure, location, date and time of a photo. Sharing these or other types of file can result in undesirable information leakage and privacy issues if you're not aware of the metadata they may contain." current

"Decoupling capacitors" are commonly connected to a supply at various points in order to absorb these variations and minimise any such unwanted and detrimental couplings." current

Such practices include non-availability or exhorbitant cost of spare parts or service information, manufacturing methods making disassembly difficult, and parts pairing or software locks restricting repair to the manufacturer or their authorised agents.
