Chapter 7/introduction to TCP/IP Flashcards
What is a protocol
312
a protocol is a set of rules that govern communications that a computer use as comunication language
TCP/IP
312
the transmission control protocol/internet protocol
it is the protocol used on the internet
DOD is similar to OSI

department of defense model is the model that TCP/PI is based on
4 layers on the DOD model

Sometimes referred to as an access method, a protocol is a standard used to define a method of exchanging data over a computer network such as local area network, Internet, Intranet, etc. Each protocol has its own method of how data is formatted when sent and what to do with it once received, how that data is compressed or how to check for errors in data.
One of the most common and known protocols is HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol), which is a protocol used to transmit data over the world wide web (Internet).
DHCP
314
Short for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, DHCP is a protocol used to assign an IP address to a computer or device that has been connected to a network automatically. Routers, switches, or servers that use DHCP to assign addresses to other computers can make setup and management easier for the network administrator.
DNS
314
Short for Domain Name System or Domain Name Service, a DNS is an Internet or network server that helps to point domain names or hostnames to their associated Internet Protocol address.
FTP
314
Short for File Transfer Protocol, FTP. is a standard way of sending and receiving files between two computers. A good example of how FTP is used today is by web developers, who will connect to their web server using FTP and send updated versions of their web pages to the server.
HTTP
315
Short for HyperText Transfer Protocol, HTTP is a set of standards that allow users of the World Wide Web to exchange information found on web pages. When accessing any web page entering http:// in front of the address tells the browser to communicate over HTTP.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure, HTTPS is a protocol which uses HTTP on a connection encrypted by transport-layer security.
HTTP transmit Data in plain text it main there is no encryption and the information can be stolen.
HTTPS
315
HTTPS is used to protect transmitted data from eavesdropping. It is the default protocol for conducting financial transactions on the web, and can protect a website’s users from censorship by a government or an ISP. The data on HTTPS is encrypts.
- encrypts is
315
The process of making data unreadable by other humans or computers for the purpose of preventing others from gaining access to its contents. Encrypted data is generated using an encryption program such as PGP, encryption machine, or a simple encryption key and appears as garbage until it is decrypted. To read or use the data, it must be decrypted, and only those who have the correct password or decryption key can make the data readable again.
IMAP
316
Short for Internet Message Access Protocol, IMAP
It is a protocol for retrieving e-mail from a server, similar to POP. The secure version of IMAP is called IMAPS, which stands for IMAP over SSL.
LDAP ?
316
Lightweight Directory Access Protocol, LDAP is an Internet protocol that runs over TCP designed
