DES
DES is an acronym for Data Encryption Standard. It provides a complete description of a mathematical algorithm for
encrypting (enciphering) and decrypting (deciphering) binary coded information.
Encrypting data converts it to an unintelligible form called cipher. Decrypting cipher converts the data back to its
original form called plaintext. The algorithm described in this standard specifies both enciphering and deciphering
operations which are based on a binary number called a key.
DHCP
DHCP is an acronym for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a protocol used for assigning dynamic IP
addresses to devices on a network.
DHCP used by networked computers (clients) to obtain IP addresses and other parameters such as the default
gateway, subnet mask, and IP addresses of DNS servers from a DHCP server.
The DHCP server ensures that all IP addresses are unique, for example, no IP address is assigned to a second client
while the first client's assignment is valid (its lease has not expired). Therefore, IP address pool management is done
by the server and not by a human network administrator.
