(1) (n.) An instantaneous amplitude of the signal in a single audio channel, represented as an integer, floating-point, or fixed-point number. See also fixed-point sample. (2) (v.) To collect samples from an audio source, typically an analog audio source. Sampling typically involves collecting samples at regular, very brief intervals such as 1/44,100 seconds. (3) (n.) An excerpt of a longer recording. When the excerpt is intended to be played repeatedly, it is called a loop. (4) (v.) To record a sample to use as a loop or for inclusion in a another recording. (5) In QuickTime, a single element of a sequence of time-ordered data.
Industry:Software; Computer
A cryptographic key that cannot be made public without compromising the security of the cryptographic method. In symmetric key cryptography, the secret key is used both to encrypt and decrypt the data. In asymmetric key cryptography, the secret key is paired with a public key. Whichever one is used to encrypt the data, the other is used to decrypt it. See also public key, public key cryptography.
Industry:Software; Computer
Encrypted storage of data that requires a user or process to authenticate itself before the data is decrypted. Secure storage persists when the power is turned off.
Industry:Software; Computer
A daemon running in Mac OS X and iPhone OS that implements security protocols for such purposes as encryption, decryption, and authorization computation. The use of the Security Server to perform actions with cryptographic keys allows the keys to be maintained in a separate address space from the client application, keeping them more secure. In Mac OS X, the Security Server uses a process called the Security Agent to communicate with the user through dialogs and other user interface elements.
Industry:Software; Computer
To set an audio file or buffer’s read position to a specified webpage template.
Industry:Software; Computer
A control for changing modes or views; each segment represents a different state.
Industry:Software; Computer
The horizontal placement of interface elements, including the default line direction (left-to-right or right-to-left) for text in the system script. System direction is specified by the global system direction variable.
Industry:Software; Computer
The font used for text in menus and in modeless dialogs, and for titles of document windows. It is 13-point Lucida Grande Regular.
Industry:Software; Computer
An object that is part of a scriptable element of Mac OS X.
