Page 539 Those characters available for encoding in a particular bar code symbology. Check Digit A digit used to verify a correct symbol decode. The scanner inserts the decoded data into an arithmetic formula and checks that the resulting number matches the encoded check digit.
Page 540 Mobile 2003 Software for Pocket PCs PRG Continuous Code A bar code or symbol in which all spaces within the symbol are parts of characters. There are no intercharacter gaps in a continuous code. The absence of gaps allows for greater information density.

Interleaved Bar Code A bar code in which characters are paired together, using bars to represent the first character and the intervening spaces to represent the second.
Page 545 GL-11 Glossary Kerberos Kerberos is a network authentication protocol. It is designed to provide strong authentication for client/server applications by using secret-key cryptography. A free implementation of this protocol is available from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Kerberos is available in many commercial products as well. A key is the specific code used by the algorithm to encrypt or decrypt the data.

Quiet Zone A clear space, containing no dark marks, which precedes the start character of a bar code symbol and follows the stop character. QWERTY A standard keyboard commonly used on North American and some European PC keyboards.
Page 549 Software Development Kit Self-Checking Code A symbology that uses a checking algorithm to detect encoding errors within the characters of a bar code symbol. Shared Key Shared Key authentication is an algorithm where both the AP and the MU share an authentication key.
Page 550 Symbol Length Length of symbol measured from the beginning of the quiet zone (margin) adjacent to the start character to the end of the quiet zone (margin) adjacent to a stop character.
Page 551 GL-17 Glossary TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) A communications protocol used to internetwork dissimilar systems. This standard is the protocol of the Internet and has become the global standard for communications.
