Oracle Database B10772-01 User Manual

See

An algorithm that assures data integrity by generating a 160-bit cryptographic
message digest value from given data. If as little as a single bit in the data is
modified, the Secure Hash Algorithm checksum for the data changes. Forgery of a
given data set in a way that will cause the Secure Hash Algorithm to generate the
same result as that for the original data is considered computationally infeasible.

An algorithm that takes a message of less than 264 bits in length and produces a
160-bit message digest. The algorithm is slightly slower than MD5, but the larger
message digest makes it more secure against brute-force collision and inversion
attacks.

An industry standard protocol designed by Netscape Communications Corporation
for securing network connections. SSL provides authentication, encryption, and
data integrity using public key infrastructure (PKI).

A provider of a service.

1. A network resource used by clients; for example, an Oracle database server.

2. An executable process installed in the Windows

 and administered by

Windows. Once a service is created and started, it can run even when no user is
logged on to the computer.

For Kerberos-based authentication, the

portion of a service principal.

See

In Kerberos authentication, a service table is a list of service principals that exist on
a kinstance. This information must be extracted from Kerberos and copied to the
Oracle server machine before Kerberos can be used by Oracle.
