Deterministic: It means that the same input value should always return the same hash value
DH (Diffie-Hellman): A popular key exchange algorithm, named for its co-inventors
Dictionary attack: A type of password attack that tries out words that are commonly used in passwords, like password, monkey, football
Distinguished name (DN): A unique identifier for each entry in the directory
Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack: A DoS attack using multiple systems
DNS Cache Poisoning Attack: It works by tricking a DNS server into accepting a fake DNS record that will point you to a compromised DNS server
DSA (Digital Signature Algorithm): It is another example of an asymmetric encryption system, though its used for signing and verifying data
Dynamic ARP inspection (DAI): A feature on enterprise switches that prevents certain types of attacks
E
EAP-TLS: One of the more common and secure EAP methods
ECDH & ECDSA: Elliptic curve variants of Diffie-Hellman and DSA, respectively
Eliptic curve cryptography (ECC): A public key encryption system that uses the algebraic structure of elliptic curves over finite fields to generate secure keys
Encapsulating security payload: It's a part of the IPsec suite of protocols, which encapsulates IP packets, providing confidentiality, integrity, and authentication of the packets
Encryption: The act of taking a message (plaintext), and applying an operation to it (cipher), so that you receive a garbled, unreadable message as the output (ciphertext)
Encryption algorithm:The underlying logic or process that's used to convert the plaintext into ciphertext
End-entity (leaf certificate): A certificate that has no authority as a CA
Entropy pool: A source of random data to help seed random number generators
Entry point: the act to determine the entry point to figure out how the attacker got in, or what vulnerability the malware exploited
Evil twin: The premise of an evil twin attack is for you to connect to a network that is identical to yours but that is controlled by an attacker. Once connected to it, they will be able to monitor your traffic
