| Computing Innovation | includes a program as an integral part of its function. Can be physical (e.g. self-driving car), non-physical computing software (e.g. picture editing software), or non-physical computing concepts (e.g., e-commerce). |
| Personally Identifiable Information (PII) | information about an individual that identifies, links, relates, or describes them. |
| Phishing | a technique that attempts to trick a user into providing personal information. That personal information can then be used to access sensitive online resources, such as bank accounts and emails |
| Keylogging | the use of a program to record every keystroke made by a computer user in order to gain fraudulent access to passwords and other confidential information |
| Malware | software intended to damage a computing system or to take partial control over its operation |
| Rogue Access Point | a wireless access point that gives unauthorized access to secure networks. |
| Encryption | a process of encoding messages to keep them secret, so only "authorized" parties can read it. |
| Decryption | a process that reverses encryption, taking a secret message and reproducing the original plain text. |
| Symmetric Key Encryption | involves one key for both encryption and decryption. |
| Public Key Encryption | pairs a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption. The sender does not need the receiver’s private key to encrypt a message, but the receiver’s private key is required to decrypt the message |
| Multi-factor Authentication | a system that requires at least two steps to unlock protected information; each step adds a new layer of security that must be broken to gain unauthorized access |
| Computer Virus Scanning Software | protects a computing system against infection. |
