Glossary
Plain-language explanations for encryption, tracking, compliance, and security concepts.
Data Management
Governance document defining retention schedules and deletion/archival procedures.
Privacy
Concept related to delisting/removal requests in specific legal contexts.
Privacy
Legal right allowing individuals to request deletion of personal data under defined conditions.
Security
Structured process to identify, evaluate, and prioritize risks and mitigations.
Authentication
Authentication control using risk scoring from contextual signals to trigger step-up verification or blocking.
Web Security
Cookie attribute controlling cross-site cookie sending; helps mitigate CSRF and reduces third-party usage.
Authentication
XML-based federation protocol where an IdP issues signed assertions to a service provider.
Security
Isolation of code execution with constrained privileges.
Security
Software Bill of Materials: structured inventory of components, versions, and dependencies for risk management.
Authorization
Authorization constraint defining the permissions encoded in a token; should be minimal and explicit.
Privacy
Assistive technology that converts UI content into speech/Braille; relevant to accessible privacy controls.
Privacy
Information retrieval system that indexes content and ranks results using signals and models.
Privacy
Structured datastore of crawled documents and signals used to retrieve and rank results.
Encryption
Confidential key material (or shared secret) used for encryption, signing, or authentication.
Encryption
Tooling and processes for secure secret storage, access control, auditing, and rotation (often via vault services).
Encryption
Lifecycle control to replace secrets/keys and invalidate old ones, reducing exposure window.
Privacy
Cryptographic protocol allowing computation of aggregates without revealing individual contributions.
Security
Cryptographic verification of boot chain integrity.
Network Privacy
Authenticated, encrypted channel established using TLS (often via HTTPS).
Web Security
Cookie attribute restricting transmission to HTTPS; reduces exposure to network interception and downgrade.
Data Management
Deletion method ensuring data is unrecoverable (e.g., cryptographic erase, overwrite, key destruction).
Security
Tamper-resistant hardware component for secure key storage and cryptographic operations.
Security
Hardware-backed trusted execution for key isolation.
Security
Messaging systems designed to provide confidentiality, integrity, and safer identity/account controls.
