| Adware | Any software that automatically plays. displays or downloads advertising material to a computer after the software is installed on it or while the application is being used. In most cases, this is done without any notification to the user or without the user's consent. The term adware may also refer to software that displays advertisements, whether or not it does so with the user's consent; such programs display advertisements as an alternate to shareware registration fees. These are classified as adware in the sense of advertising-supported software, but not as software. Adware in this form does not operate surreptitiously or mislead the user, and provides the user with a specific service. |

| Byte | A fundamental unit of computer storage; the smallest addressable unit in a computer's architecture. Usually holds one character of information and usually means eight bits. |
| Capability Maturity Model (CMM) | CMM is a qualitative approach typically using a 0 to 5 scale with each value assigned a set of attributes or characteristics to determine a relative level of competency and proficiency. |
| Certificate | A digitally signed representation of information that 1) identifies the authority issuing it, 2) identifies the subscriber, 3) identifies its valid operational period (date issued / expiration date). In the information assurance (IA) community, certificate usually implies public key certificate and can have the following types: Cross certificate a certificate issued from a CA that signs the public key of another CA not within its trust hierarchy that establishes a trust relationship between the two CAs. Encryption certificate a certificate containing a public key that can encrypt or decrypt electronic messages, files, documents, or data transmissions, or establish or exchange a session key for these same purposes. Key management sometimes refers to the process of storing, protecting, and escrowing the private component of the key pair associated with the encryption certificate. Identity certificate a certificate that provides authentication of the identity claimed. Within the National Security Systems (NSS) PKI, identity certificates may be used only for authentication or may b |
| Certificate (Certification) Authority (CA) | In cryptography, a CA is a trusted third party that issues digital certificates. A CA attests, as the trusted provider of the public/private key pairs, to the authenticity of the owner (entity or individual) to whom a public/private key pair has been given. The process involves a CA who makes a decision to issue a certificate based on evidence or knowledge obtained in verifying the identity of the recipient. Upon verifying the identity of the recipient, the CA signs the certificate with its private key for distribution to the user, where, upon receipt, the user will decrypt the certificate with the CA's public key (e.g., commercial CAs, such as VeriSign, provide public keys on web browsers). The ideal CA is authoritative (someone the user trusts) for the name or key space it represents. CAs are characteristic of many public key infrastructure (PKI) schemes. Many commercial CAs charge for their services. Institutions and governments may have their own CAs, and there are free CAs. |
| Certificate policy (CP) | A specialized form of administrative policy tuned to electronic transactions performed during certificate management. A Certificate Policy addresses all aspects associated with the generation, production, distribution, accounting, compromise recovery, and administration of digital certificates. Indirectly, a certificate policy can also govern the transactions conducted using a communications system protected by a certificate-based security system. By controlling critical certificate extensions, such policies and associated enforcement technology can support provision of the security services required by particular applications. |
| Certification Practice Statement | A statement of the practices that a Certification Authority employs in issuing, suspending, revoking, and renewing certificates and providing access to them, in accordance with specific requirements (i.e., requirements specified in this Certificate Policy, or requirements specified in a contract for services). |
| Certificate revocation list (CRL) | A list of revoked public key certificates created and digitally signed by a Certification Authority. |
| Chain of custody | The chain of custody is a legal principle regarding the validity and integrity of evidence. It requires accountability for anything that will be used as evidence in a legal proceeding, to ensure that it can be accounted for from the time it was collected until the time it is presented in a court of law. This includes documentation as to who had access to the evidence and when, as well as the ability to identify evidence as being the exact item that was recovered or tested. Lack of control over evidence can lead to it being discredited. Chain of custody depends on the ability to verify that evidence could not have been tampered with. This is accomplished by sealing off the evidence, so it cannot be changed, and providing a documentary record of custody to prove that the evidence was, at all times, under strict control and not subject to tampering. |
| Chain of Evidence | A process and record that shows who obtained the evidence; where and when the evidence was obtained; who secured the evidence; and who had control or possession of the evidence. The “sequencing” of the chain of evidence follows this order: collection and identification; analysis; storage; preservation; presentation in court; return to owner. |
| Challenge and Reply Authentication | Prearranged procedure in which a subject requests authentication of another and the latter establishes validity with a correct reply. |
| Challenge-Response Protocol | An authentication protocol where the verifier sends the claimant a challenge (usually a random value or a nonce) that the claimant combines with a shared secret (often by hashing the challenge and secret together) to generate a response that is sent to the verifier. The verifier knows the shared secret and can independently compute the response and compare it with the response generated by the claimant. If the two are the same, the claimant is considered to have successfully authenticated himself. When the shared secret is a cryptographic key, such protocols are generally secure against eavesdroppers. When the shared secret is a password, an eavesdropper does not directly intercept the password itself, but the eavesdropper may be able to find the password with an off-line password guessing attack. |
| Change management | A controlled approach to managing the transition from a current to a desired organizational state while ensuring that critical success factors and potential risks are determined and addressed. |
| Checksum | A value that is computed by a function that is dependent on the contents of a data object and is stored or transmitted together with the object, for the purpose of detecting changes in the data. |
