Routing algorithms in the context of networking can be classified variously. The prior classification is based on the building and modification of a routing table. This can be done in two manners statically or dynamically. More precisely these are known as static and dynamic routing respectively. In the Static routing, the table is set up and modified manually whereas in the Dynamic routing the table is built automatically with the help of the routing protocols. Dynamic routing is preferred … [Read more...]
Difference Between NAT and PAT
Network Address Translation (NAT) and Port Address Translation (PAT) are the protocols used to map the unregistered private (inside local) address of an internal network to a registered public (inside global) address of an external network before transferring the packet. The main difference between them is that NAT is used to map public IP addresses to private IP addresses, it could be a one-to-one or many-to-one relation. On the other hand, PAT is a type of NAT where the multiple private IP … [Read more...]
Difference Between Confusion and Diffusion
The terms confusion and diffusion are the properties for making a secure cipher. Both Confusion and diffusion are used to prevent the encryption key from its deduction or ultimately for preventing the original message. Confusion is used for creating clueless ciphertext while diffusion is used for increasing the redundancy of the plaintext over the major part of the ciphertext to make it obscure. The stream cipher only relies on confusion. Alternatively, diffusion is used by both stream and block … [Read more...]
Difference Between Active and Passive Attacks
The major difference between active and passive attacks is that in active attacks the attacker intercepts the connection and modifies the information. Whereas, in a passive attack, the attacker intercepts the transit information with the intention of reading and analyzing the information not for altering it. There are various types of threats, attacks and vulnerabilities present to corrupt and breach the system security. Security attacks are the computer attacks that compromise the security … [Read more...]
Difference Between Phishing and Spoofing
Phishing and Spoofing are the types of attacks that often used in a similar sense. The prior difference between phishing and spoofing is that in phishing the scammer tries to trick the victim with an intent to steal the confidential details resulting in financial gain. On the other hand, spoofing doesn't always involve financial gain, but the forging is similar. Content: Phishing Vs Spoofing Comparison Chart Definition Key Differences Conclusion Comparison … [Read more...]
Difference Between Authentication and Authorization
The authentication and authorization are used in respect of information security which enables the security on an automated information system. The terminologies are interchangeably used but are distinct. The identity of a person is assured by authentication. On the other hand, authorization checks the access list that the authenticated person has. In other words, the authorization includes the permissions that a person has given. Content: Authentication Vs Authorization Comparison Chart … [Read more...]
Difference Between Grant and Revoke
In SQL, the DCL commands are used for assigning the different authorizations to the user, these type of authorizations is known as privilege. Grant and Revoke commands are the DCL commands. The GRANT command is used for conferring the authorization to the users whereas REVOKE command is used for withdrawing the authorization. Select, insert, update and delete are some of the privileges that are included in SQL standards. Content: Grant Vs Revoke Comparison Chart Definition Key … [Read more...]
Difference Between Mirroring and Replication
Mirroring and Replication are the terms somehow related to copying of data in a DBMS. The prior difference between mirroring and replication is that mirroring refers to copy a database to another location whereas replication includes the copy of data and database objects from one database to another database. Both mirroring and replication are advantageous and increases the availability and performance of the data or database. Content: Mirroring Vs Replication Comparison Chart … [Read more...]
Difference Between Clustered and Non-clustered index
Clustered and Non-clustered index are the types of single-level ordering index where clustered index determines how the data is stored in the rows of a table. On the other hand, the non-clustered index stores the data at a single place and the indexes are stored at another place. Additionally, each table can have only one clustered index. As against, In case of a non-clustered index, a table can have multiple non-clustered indices. The indices are essentially required for the efficient … [Read more...]
Difference Between Primary key and Unique key
We have already studied different types of keys used in database and schema in the previous articles namely Difference Between Primary key and Foreign Key. In this article, we are distinguishing Primary key and Unique key. Both primary key and the unique key is used to identify a tuple uniquely and enforces uniqueness in a column or combination of a column. The essential difference between primary key and unique key is that primary key does not accept NULL values whereas NULL values are … [Read more...]
