PPP
Point-to-Point Protocol
. A layer-2 protocol that connects a device such as a
personal computer to a server through a phone line. PPP uses a serial interface
and is sometimes considered part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. For more
information, see RFC 1661 at
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1661

pre-connect
testing
Testing performed before an
endpoint
is granted access to the network. Only
endpoints that comply with an organization’s security policies are allowed
onto the network. Endpoints that do not comply are quarantined.
preshared key
A preshared key is an alphanumeric character string agreed upon by two
parties in advance. In
IKE
negotiations, peers can exchange a preshared key
that is between 8 and 255 characters long to authenticate each other before
opening the IKE
SA
.
private key
One of a pair of
keys
that is generated from a single, large random number.
The private key is kept secret, not distributed, and is used to decrypt a message
that was encrypted using the
public key
. If used to encrypt a message, it “signs”
that message as originating from the private key’s owner.
protected services
Services that run on any servers that are connected to the
eth1
port. Such
services could include directory services,
DNS
,
DHCP
,
NTP
, file servers, and
print servers.
PSCP
PuTTY
with
SCP
.
public key
One of a pair of
keys
that is generated from a single, large random number.
The public key is distributed widely and is used to encrypt a message that can
be decrypted using only the
private key
. The public key also verifies data signed
by the private key.
