CHAPTER 9: Glossary
140 WatchGuard Firebox System
Microsoft, MIT, RSA, and Sun) that includes algorithm-specific
and algorithm-independent implementation standards.
Public Key Infrastructure
A widely available and accessible certificate system for obtaining
an entity’s public key.
QuickSetup Wizard
A wizard that creates a basic Firebox configuration. It consists of a
series of windows that prompt for essential configuration
information for drop-in or advanced network installations.
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service)
A protocol for distributed security that secures remote access to
networks and network services against unauthorized access.
RADIUS consists of two pieces–authentication server code and
client protocols.
random number
A necessary element in generating unique keys that are
unpredictable to an adversary. True random numbers are
typically derived from analog sources, and usually involve the
use of special hardware.
RC4 (Rivest Cipher 4)
A variable key size stream cipher, once a proprietary algorithm of
RSA Data Security, Inc.
RC5 (Rivest Cipher 5)
A block cipher with a variety of arguments, block size, key size,
and number of rounds.
related hosts
A method to place hosts on the optional or external interface
when using a simple or drop-in network configuration. Examples
include placing a router on the external interface or an HTTP
server on the optional interface.
related networks
Networks on the same physical wire as the Firebox interfaces but
with network addresses that belong to an entirely different
network.
