designed by the National Bureau of Standards, used to transform (encrypt and
decrypt) information using a 64-bit key.
DSSS - Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum: A highly secure and reliable
technology which spreads data over a broad frequency range requiring receiving
and sending devices to use specific coding and decoding algorithms
EPROM - Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory
Ethernet: Trademark of Xerox. A 10 Megabit per second (Mbps) standard for
Local Area Networks (LANs) in which all nodes are connected usually with a
coaxial cable where they contend for network access using Carrier Sense Multiple
Access (CSMA).
