Firewall Gateway that limits access between networks in accordance with local security policy. Inside threat An entity with authorized access that has the potential to harm an information system through destruction, disclosure, modification of data, and/or denial of service. Integrity Protection against unauthorized modification or destruction of information. A state in which information has remained unaltered from the point it was produced by a source, during transmission, storage, and eventual receipt by the destination. Intellectual Property Useful artistic, technical, and/or industrial information, knowledge or ideas that convey ownership and control of tangible or virtual usage and/or representation. Intermediate CA A CA that is subordinate to another CA, and has a CA subordinate to itself. Key Escrow A deposit of the private key of a certificate holder and other pertinent information pursuant to an escrow agreement or similar contract binding upon the certificate holder, the terms of which require one or more agents to hold the certificate holder's private key for the benefit of the certificate holder, an employer, or other party, upon provisions set forth in the agreement. [adapted from ABADSG, "Commercial key escrow service"] Key Exchange The process of exchanging public keys in order to establish secure communications. Key Generation Material Random numbers, pseudo-random numbers, and cryptographic parameters used in generating cryptographic keys. Key Pair Two mathematically related keys having the properties that (1) one key can be used to encrypt a message that can only be decrypted using the other key, and (ii) even knowing one key, it is computationally infeasible to discover the other key. Local Registration Authority A Registration Authority with responsibility for a local community. (LRA) Master Service Agreement Agreement between LM and Certipath. Memorandum of Agreement between the LM PMA and an Entity allowing Agreement (MOA) interoperability between the Entity Principal CA and the LM CA. Mission Support Information that is important to the support of deployed and Information contingency forces. Mutual Authentication Occurs when parties at both ends of a communication activity authenticate each other (see authentication).
