ATIS is the leading technical planning and standards development organization committed to the rapid development of global, market-driven standards for the information, entertainment and communications industry.
A security-violating, network-scanning tool that can scan a network using a variety of protocols, can operate in stealth mode, and can automatically identify remote operating systems.
Industry:Telecommunications
A segment of an end-to-end route or path, such as a path from user to user via several networks and nodes within networks. Note: Examples of legs are several sequential microwave links between two switching centers and a transoceanic cable between two shore communications facilities, each connected to a node in a national network. 2. A connection from a specific node to an addressable entity, such as communication link from a computer workstation to a hub. 3. A loop termination of a multipoint circuit that links a bridge to the end user location.
Industry:Telecommunications
A semiconductor device that emits incoherent optical radiation when biased in the forward direction.
Industry:Telecommunications
A semiconductor diode that produces, as a result of the absorption of photons, (a) a photovoltage or (b) free carriers that support the conduction of photocurrent. Note: Photodiodes are used for the detection of optical communication signals and for the conversion of optical power to electrical power.
Industry:Telecommunications
A semiconductor image-sensing device that (a) is usually in the form of a plane rectangular matrix of microscopic, individual sensing elements, each of which corresponds to an image pixel, (b) is placed at the focal plane of an optical imaging system, and (c) converts the optical image into electrical signals which represent the information contained within each pixel, and which may be extracted sequentially and stored or otherwise processed in digital form for the purpose of transmitting or storing a digital representation of the optical image. Note: CCDs are commonly used as image sensors in professional and consumer television cameras and camcorders, and as image sensors in digital still cameras.
Industry:Telecommunications
A sequence of bits transmitted over a communications system for synchronizing crypto-equipment. Some off-line cryptosystems, such as the one-time pad systems, employ message indicators to establish decryption starting points.
Industry:Telecommunications
A sequence of bits. Note: In a bit stream, individual bit strings may be separated by data delimiters. Synonym binary string.
Industry:Telecommunications
A sequence of characters transmitted to the called terminal to permit identification of the calling line.
Industry:Telecommunications
A sequence of characters transmitted to the calling terminal to permit identification of the called line.
Industry:Telecommunications
A sequence of characters, longer than the acceptable length of a password, that is transformed by a password system into a virtual password of acceptable length.
