EAP-TTLS
EAP–Tunneled Transport Layer Security. EAP-TTLS is an EAP method that encapsulates a TLS session,
consisting of a handshake phase and a data phase. See RFC 5281.
ECC
Elliptical Curve Cryptography or Error correcting Code memory. Elliptical Curve Cryptography is a public-key
encryption technique that is based on elliptic curve theory used for creating faster, smaller, and more efficient
cryptographic keys. Error Correcting Code memory is a type ofcomputer data storagethat can detect and
correct the most common kinds of internaldata corruption. ECC memory is used in most computers where
data corruption cannot be tolerated under any circumstances, such as for scientific or financial computing.
ECDSA
Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm. ECDSA is a cryptographic algorithm that supports the use of public
or private key pairs for encrypting and decrypting information.
EDCA
Enhanced Distributed Channel Access. The EDCA function in the IEEE 802.11e Quality of Service standard
supports differentiated and distributed access to wireless medium based on traffic priority and Access
Category types. See WMM and WME.
EIGRP
Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol. EIGRP is a routing protocol used for automating routing
decisions and configuration in a network.
EIRP
Effective Isotropic Radiated Power or Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power. EIRP refers to the output power
generated when a signal is concentrated into a smaller area by the Antenna.
ESI
External Services Interface. ESI provides an open interface for integrating security solutions that solve interior
network problems such as viruses, worms, spyware, and corporate compliance.
ESS
Extended Service Set. An ESS is a set of one or more interconnected BSSs that form a single sub network.
ESSID
Extended Service Set Identifier. ESSID refers to the ID used for identifying an extended service set.
Ethernet
Ethernet is a network protocol for data transmission over LAN.
EULA
End User License Agreement. EULA is a legal contract between a software application publisher or author and
the users of the application.
