Try and imagine a world where you don’t have to memorise passwords: Thanks to FIDO2, this could soon become a reality. Authentication in online shops or for online banking can be done through a fingerprint or hardware token. The latter can communicate with laptops of PCs through a USB, NFC or Bluetooth. To enable conversations between two devices, FIDO2 uses the Client to Authenticator Protocol...
E-mail, instant messaging, or voice-over IP: If you want to communicate over the internet, you should make sure that the data transfer process can be trusted. The same goes for the World Wide Web. With online banking and digital shopping, money transactions are increasingly being carried out online. Popular encryption methods like DES, AES, or RSA should guarantee the security of passwords, credit...
For years, Apache had been the uncontested go-to web servers and comprised the basis of most websites published in the World Wide Web. The increasing technical requirements of modern web projects and the growing demands and expectations of internet users has brought on a sea change of sorts. Alternatives like NGINX are becoming ever more popular and are slowly creeping up on the classic server...
How exactly do you access the internet? Those who have a DSL contract, for example, first have to contact their internet provider’s node each time they connect. The provider checks the access authorisation and establishes the connection to the internet. The so-called “Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet” (PPPoE) is used for this purpose. But how exactly does this protocol work?
What is csrss.exe? If you inspect the processes currently running on your Windows system, you’ll inevitably come across the csrss.exe process. Your system can’t run without it because it’s responsible for important tasks such as launching processes. If you suspect that the file might be a virus, it’s a good idea to inspect whether it’s the genuine csrss.exe file. But can you spot the difference?
If you want to connect a computer, smartphone, etc. to a network (LAN or Wifi), you can either assign the IP address manually, or get it automatically. The latter is possible thanks to the DHCP (dynamic host configuration protocol) communication protocol, which has established itself as the cross-platform standard solution for address management. The forerunner was the BOOTP bootstrap protocol...
For many years, dedicated IPs were an important component within hosting and mailing. To this day, you can choose a dedicated IP address for your project from a wide variety of services. But is a dedicated IP really a better solution than a shared address? We’ll show you what you need to know about the two IP types and dispel common myths.
An IP address is assigned to all devices in a computer network. This makes them uniquely addressable and identifiable. Data packets are transported from the sender to the recipient using the IP address. Thanks to this address, routers can send the data packet to the correct recipient. So, how do you find your IP address?
Without TCP/IP protocols, you wouldn’t be able to read the words on this page. TCP and IP, the two foundational protocols of the suite, along with other related sets of rules, define how computers communicate over the Internet and other networks. In fact, the standards are so established that every device on the Internet follows these protocols to ensure the smooth transfer of data.
