Glossary
RPC Remote Procedure Call. A procedure where arguments or parameters are sent
to a program on a remote system. The remote program executes and returns
the results. For more information, see RFC 1831 at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/
rfc1831.txt.
RSA Rivest-Shamir-Adleman. A public-key encryption technology that was devel-
oped by RSA Data Security, Inc. The RSA algorithm is based on the fact that
there is no efficient way to factor very large numbers. Deducing an RSA key,
therefore, requires an extraordinary amount of computer processing power
and time. RSA supports keys between 1024 and 2048 bits long. RSA keys can
be used for signing digital certificates. For more information, see the RSA
Cryptography Standard at http://www.rsa.com/rsalabs/node.asp?id=2125.
running-config The settings that the TMS zl Module is using at any given moment. These
settings may or may not be saved to the startup-config.
S
SA Security Association. Secure communication between two network devices
that is created from shared security information. A SA is used in IKE. For more
information, see RFC 4306 at http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4603.txt.
SA lifetime The time in seconds that can pass or amount of data in kilobytes that can be
sent before the SA must be renegotiated.
schedule object A named object that specifies the days and times of day that a specific firewall
access policy applies.
scheduled policy A firewall access policy to which a schedule object has been applied.
SCEP Simple Certificate Enrollment Protocol. A PKI communication protocol to
provide secure issuance of certificates in a scalable manner. For more infor-
mation, see the Internet Draft at http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-
nourse-scep-15.txt.
SCP Secure Copy Protocol. Encrypts data packets over an SSH connection.

See SA.
Self The zone that contains all of the module’s interface and NAT addresses. All
traffic that terminates at the module is destined for Self, and all traffic that
originates with the module is from Self.
