key

One of the following:

A value used to identify a record in a database, derived by applying a fixed

function to the record. The key is often simply one of the fields (a column if the

database is considered as a table with records being rows). Alternatively, the key

can be obtained by applying a function to one or more of the fields.

❍

A value that must be fed into the algorithm used to decode an encrypted message

in order to reproduce the original plain text. Some encryption schemes use the

same (secret) key to encrypt and decrypt a message, but public key encryption uses

a private (secret) key and a public key that is known by all parties.

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP)

A relatively simple protocol for updating and searching directories running over TCP/IP.

local area network (LAN)

kilometer), allowing easy interconnection of terminals, microprocessors, and computers

within adjacent buildings. Ethernet is an example of a LAN.

macro

A sequence of commands that can contain dummy arguments. When the macro runs,

actual parameters are substituted for the dummy arguments.
