This glossary is provided for your information only; it is not meant to be relied
upon as a complete or authoritative description of the terms defined below or of
the privacy and/or security ramifications of the technologies described.
Glossary
الگوریتم تأیید هویت:
The use of a password, گواهی, personal identification number
(PIN), or other information to validate an identity over a computer
network.
چوبالفها
A stored web page address (URL)
that you can go to easily by clicking a چوبالفها icon in the نوار ابزار چوب&الفها
or choosing the چوبالفها's name from the Bookmarks menu.
نوار ابزار چوب&الفها
The customizable toolbar that appears just below the مکان by
default in &brandShortName;. It contains buttons for your favorite چوبالفهاs
(or folders containing groups of چوبالفهاs) that you can add or remove.
حافظهٔ نهان
A collection of web page copies stored on your computer's hard disk or in
its random-access memory (RAM). &brandShortName; accumulates these copies as you
browse the Web. When you click a link or type a
URL to fetch a particular web page for
which the حافظهٔ نهان already contains a copy, &brandShortName; compares the حافظهٔ نهانd copy
to the original. If there have been no changes, &brandShortName; uses the حافظهٔ نهانd
copy rather than refetching the original, saving processing and download time.
گواهی
The digital equivalent of an ID card. A گواهی specifies the name of an
individual, company, or other entity and certifies that a public key, which
is included in the گواهی, belongs to that entity. When you digitally
sign a message or other data, the digital signature for that message is
created with the aid of the کلیدهای خصوصی PSM that corresponds to the public key
in your گواهی.
کارگیر
Software (such as an محتوا browser) that sends requests to and receives
information from a کارگزار, which is usually running
on a different computer. A computer on which کارگیر software runs is also
described as a کارگیر.
کوکیها
A small bit of information stored on your computer by some وبگاههاs. When
you visit such a site, the site asks &brandShortName; to place one or more کوکیهاs
on your hard disk. Later, when you return to the site, &brandShortName; sends the
site the کوکیهاs that belong to it. Cookies help وبگاههاs keep track of
information about you, such as the contents of your shopping cart. You can set
your کوکیهاs options to control how کوکیهاs are used and how much information
you are willing to let وبگاههاs store on them.
cryptography
The art and practice of scrambling (encrypting) and unscrambling (decrypting)
information. For example, cryptographic techniques are used to scramble and unscramble
information flowing between commercial وبگاههاs and &brandShortName;.
رمزنگاری:
The process of unscrambling data that has been encrypted. See also
رمزنگاری:.
The process of scrambling information in a way that disguises its meaning.
For example, encrypted connections between computers make it very difficult
for third-parties to unscramble, or decrypt, information flowing
over the connection. Encrypted information can be decrypted only by someone
who possesses the appropriate key.
Extensible Markup Language (XML)
An open standard for describing data. Unlike HTML, XML allows the
developer of a web page to define special tags. For more information,
see the online W3C document Extensible
Markup Language (XML).
feed
An XML web page that contains a list of links to
other web pages. Special programs can read feeds to create a list
of headlines from the links, automatically updating the list as it changes.
News وبگاههاs use feeds to quickly publish the latest headlines, and
personal online journals often use feeds to quickly notify visitors about
new entries. See also چوبالف زندهٔ جدید.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
A standard that allows users to transfer files from one computer to
another over a network. You can use &brandShortName; to fetch files
using FTP.
FIPS PUBS 140-1
Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS PUBS) 140-1 is
a US government standard for implementations of cryptographic modules —
hardware or software that encrypts and decrypts data or performs other
cryptographic operations (such as creating or verifying digital signatures).
Many products sold to the US government must comply with one or more of the
FIPS standards.
صفحهٔ آغازه
The page &brandShortName; is set to display every time you launch it or when you
click the Home button. Also used to refer to the main page for a
وبگاهها from which you can explore the rest of the site.
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)
The document format used for web pages. The HTML standard defines tags, or
codes, used to define the text layout, fonts, style, images, and other
elements that make up a web page.
محتوا
A worldwide network of millions of computers that communicate with each
other using standard protocols such as
TCP/IP.
Originally developed for the US military in 1969, the محتوا grew to include
educational and research institutions and, in the late 1990s, millions of
businesses, organizations, and individuals. Today the محتوا is used for email,
browsing the World Wide Web, instant messaging,
mailing lists and usegroups, and many other purposes.
محتوا protocol address (IP address)
The address of a computer on a
TCP/IP network.
Every computer on the محتوا has an IP address. Clients
have either a permanent IP address or one that is dynamically assigned to them
each time they connect with the network.
جاوهای
A programming language developed by Sun Microsystems. A single جاوهای program
can run on many different kinds of computers, thus avoiding the need for
programmers to create a separate version of each program for each kind of
computer. After جاوهای is installed, &brandShortName; can automatically download
and run جاوهای programs (also called applets).
جاوهایScript
A scripting language commonly used to construct web pages. Programmers use
جاوهایScript to make web pages more interactive; جاوهایScript is often used to
dynamically validate forms and select buttons. جاوهایScript can be used with
جاوهای, but it is technically a separate language. جاوهای is not required for
جاوهایScript to work correctly.
چوبالف زندهٔ جدید
A special type of چوبالفها that acts as a folder to contain the links in a
feed. You can create a چوبالف زندهٔ جدید by visiting a site
with a feed, clicking on the چوبالف زندهٔ جدید icon in the مکان, and
selecting the feed you wish to use.
مکان
The field (and associated buttons) near the top of a &brandShortName; window
where you can type a URL or search terms.
گذرواژههای اصلی
A password used to protect saved passwords and other private data.
&brandShortName; will prompt you for your گذرواژههای اصلی when you wish to
access this data. If you have multiple security devices, each security device
will require a separate گذرواژههای اصلی.
&نوار ابزار راهبری
The toolbar near the top of the &brandShortName; window that includes
the Back and Forward buttons.
مدیر گذرواژه
The part of &brandShortName; that can help you remember some or all of
your names and passwords by storing them on your computer's hard disk and
entering them for you automatically when you visit such sites.
PKCS #11
برای مدیریت دستگاههای امنیتی از قبیل کارت هوشمند این دکمه را فشار دهید.
متصل شونده:
متصل شونده:s add new capabilities to &brandShortName;, such as the ability to
play audio or video clips. Unlike other kinds of helper applications, a متصل شونده:
installs itself into the متصل شونده:s directory within the main
&brandShortName; installation directory and typically can be opened within
&brandShortName; itself (internally). For example, an audio متصل شونده: lets you
listen to audio files on a web page or in an e-mail message. Macromedia
Flash Player and جاوهای are both examples of متصل شونده: applications.
کلیدهای خصوصی PSM
One of a pair of keys used in public-key cryptography. The کلیدهای خصوصی PSM is
kept secret and is used to decrypt data that has been encrypted with the
corresponding public key.
proxy
An intermediary or "go-between" program that acts as both a
کارگزار and a کارگیر for
the purpose of making requests on behalf of other کارگیرs.
تعریف شده توسط کاربر
A web-based program that allows users to search for and retrieve
specific information from the World Wide Web. The تعریف شده توسط کاربر may
search the full text of web documents or a list of keywords; it may
also use librarians who review web documents and index them manually
for retrieval. Typically, the user types a word or phrase into a
search box, and the تعریف شده توسط کاربر displays links to relevant web
pages.
امنیت
A site that uses رمزنگاری: in connections
with &brandShortName; to prevent other malicious محتوا users from
viewing transmitted data. When you visit امنیتs, &brandShortName;
displays a lock icon in the نوار &وضعیت and the
مکان. &brandShortName; also
displays the site's domain name in the نوار &وضعیت (to prevent malicious
sites from stealing your data) and turns the background of the Location
Bar to yellow.
Some sites may consist of both secure and insecure data; the insecure data
usually is non-private, although it isn't guaranteed to be so. For such
sites &brandShortName; will display a lock icon with a slash through it in
the نوار &وضعیت and مکان and will not display the site's
domain name in the نوار &وضعیت so that you know that the current web page
isn't completely secure.
لایهٔ سوکتهای امن (SSL)
A protocol that allows mutual الگوریتم تأیید هویت: between a
کارگیر and a کارگزار
for the purpose of establishing an authenticated and encrypted
connection. SSL runs above TCP/IP and below HTTP, LDAP, IMAP, NNTP,
and other high-level network protocols. The new محتوا Engineering
Task Force (IETF) standard called Transport Layer Security (TLS) is
based on SSL. See also الگوریتم تأیید هویت:,
رمزنگاری:.
کارگزار
Software (such as software that serves up web pages) that receives
requests from and sends information to a کارگیر,
which is usually running on a different computer. A computer on which
کارگزار software runs is also described as a کارگزار.
نوار &وضعیت
The toolbar that appears at the bottom of any &brandShortName; window. It
shows status icons on the right.
Transmission Control Protocol/محتوا Protocol (TCP/IP)
A Unix protocol used to connect computers running a variety of operating systems.
TCP/IP is an essential محتوا protocol and has become a global standard.
Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
The standardized address that tells &brandShortName; how to locate a file or
other resource on the Web (for example, http://www.mozilla.org).
Type URLs into &brandShortName;'s مکان to access web pages. URLs
are also used in the links on web pages go to other web pages. Also known
as an محتوا or Web address.
web page
A single document on the World Wide Web that is specified by a unique
address or URL. A web page may contain text, hyperlinks, and graphics.
وبگاهها
A group of related web pages linked by hyperlinks and managed by a single
company, organization, or individual. A وبگاهها may include text, graphics,
audio and video files, and links to other وبگاههاs.
World Wide Web
Also known as the Web. A portion of the محتوا that is made up of web
pages stored by web کارگزارs and displayed by
کارگیرs called web browsers (such as
&brandShortName;).
