K
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.

L
LAN
See local area network (LAN).
local area network (LAN)
A data communications network that is geographically limited (typically to a radius of 1
