Circuit
|
a closed path through which a continuous charge can flow. Made out of a conductive material
|
|
Resistor
|
an electrical device that slows the flow of the electric charge in a circuit. Sometimes the energy is converted into light or heat by a resistor.
|
|
Short Circuit
|
an unintended path that an electric flow can take, diverting electricity away from some devices.
|
|
Series Circuit
|
a circuit that follows a single path that all devices of the circuit are on.
|
|
Parallel Circuit
|
a circuit where current follows more than one path. This uses up the battery faster but keeps the voltage consistent through all devices.
|
|
Electronic
|
used to describe any device that uses electric current to represent coded information. In this case, the signals are variations in the current.
|
|
Binary Code
|
a coding system consisting of two choices, 1 and 0. Complex messages can be sent with binary code.
|
|
Digital Information
|
streams of binary code in bits and bytes.
|
|
Analog
|
used to describe any information that has continuous variation, like from a microphone, tape, or video camera

When an attacker captures part of a communication and later sends the communication segment to the server whilst pretending to be the user it is known as a:
|
It is known as the Replay attack.
