NIST IR 7298 Revision 1, Glossary of Key Information Security Terms
Device Distribution Profile – An approval-based Access Control List (ACL) for a specific product
that 1) names the user devices in a specific key management
infrastructure (KMI) Operating Account (KOA) to which PRSNs
distribute the product, and 2) states conditions of distribution for each
device.
SOURCE: CNSSI-4009
Device Registration Manager – The management role that is responsible for performing activities
related to registering users that are devices.
SOURCE: CNSSI-4009
Dial Back – Synonymous with call back.

Differential Power Analysis –
(DPA)
An analysis of the variations of the electrical power consumption of a
cryptographic module, using advanced statistical methods and/or
other techniques, for the purpose of extracting information correlated
to cryptographic keys used in a cryptographic algorithm.
SOURCE: FIPS 140-2
Digital Evidence – Electronic information stored or transferred in digital form.
SOURCE: SP 800-72
Digital Forensics – The application of science to the identification, collection,
examination, and analysis of data while preserving the integrity of the
information and maintaining a strict chain of custody for the data.
SOURCE: SP 800-86
Digital Signature – An asymmetric key operation where the private key is used to
digitally sign an electronic document and the public key is used to
verify the signature. Digital signatures provide authentication and
integrity protection.
SOURCE: SP 800-63
Digital Signature – A nonforgeable transformation of data that allows the proof of the
source (with non-repudiation) and the verification of the integrity of
that data.
SOURCE: FIPS 196
Digital Signature – The result of a cryptographic transformation of data which, when
properly implemented, provides the services of:
1. origin authentication,
2. data integrity, and
3. signer non-repudiation.
