OBS

The Data Encryption Standard(DES) [consists of the] Data Encryption Algorithm(DES) and Triple Data Encryption Algorithm(TDEA...). These devices [are] designed in such a way that they may be used in a computer system or network to provide cryptographic protection to binary coded data.

OBS

[The Data Encryption Standard] was phased out at the start of the 21st century by a more secure encryption standard, known as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which was better suited for securing commercial transactions over the Internet.

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Hardware
CONT

Hardware redundancy may be of the fault-masking, the self-repair or a hybrid of these two. In fault-masking, redundancy is of a static nature.... In self-repair, redundancy is used dynamically, faults are selectively masked, and are detected, located and subsequently corrected by the replacement of the failed unit by an unfailed replica. Examples of the former are Triple Modular Redundancy(TMR) and quadding, and of the latter standby-replacement(SR) system and reconfigurable systems.

… the NPET [non-pure positron emission tomography] system consists of two types of detection systems. The first type of detection system is referred to as a PET [positron emission tomography] subsystem and the second type of detection system is referred to as a SPECT [single photon emission computed tomography] subsystem. These two subsystems are connected by a triple coincidence circuit. The PET subsystem simultaneously detects two annihilated photons(511 KeV [kiloelectronvolts]). The direction of the annihilated photons(called annihilation line) is along the line of response(LOR) connected by the two detectors that coincidentally intercept the photons.

... the phase rule of Gibbs... reveals... that for a single-component open system, such as water, the number of independent intensive properties may be 2, 1, or 0 if the number of phases present is 1, 2, or 3, respectively. Thus, for water vapour, temperature and pressure are independent properties;.... For coexisting liquid and vapour, either pressure or temperature may be considered the independent property; for coexisting solid, liquid, and vapour(the triple point), the values of all intensive phase properties are fixed by the nature of the substance, and the value of none may be arbitrarily selected.
