This glossary is provided for your information only; it is not meant to be relied upon as a complete or authoritative description of the terms defined below or of the privacy and/or security ramifications of the technologies described.


詞彙表

authentication 驗證
The use of a password, certificate, personal identification number (PIN), or other information to validate an identity over a computer network.
以密碼、憑證、個人識別碼或其他資訊於網路上證明使用者確為其人。
bookmark 書籤
A stored web page address (<a href="#Uniform_Resource_Locator">URL</a>) that you can go to easily by clicking a bookmark icon in the Bookmarks Toolbar or choosing the bookmark's name from the Bookmarks menu.
將網頁位址 (<a href="#Uniform_Resource_Locator">URL</a>) 儲存後便稱為書籤, 您可以按下書籤工具列的圖示 (或由書籤功能表中選擇該書籤) 前往存下來的位置。
Bookmarks Toolbar 書籤工具列
The customizable toolbar that appears just below the Location Bar by default in &brandShortName;. It contains buttons for your favorite bookmarks (or folders containing groups of bookmarks) that you can add or remove.
在 &brandShortName; 中、預設會出現於位址列下方的工具列。此工具列能供使用者自訂, 內含您最常用的書籤 (或存有其他書籤的資料夾),亦可用以儲存或刪除書籤。
cache 快取
A collection of web page copies stored on your computer's hard disk or in its random-access memory (RAM). &brandShortName; accumulates these copies as you browse the Web. When you click a link or type a <a href="#Uniform_Resource_Locator">URL</a> to fetch a particular web page for which the cache already contains a copy, &brandShortName; compares the cached copy to the original. If there have been no changes, &brandShortName; uses the cached copy rather than refetching the original, saving processing and download time.
certificate
The digital equivalent of an ID card. A certificate specifies the name of an individual, company, or other entity and certifies that a public key, which is included in the certificate, belongs to that entity. When you digitally sign a message or other data, the digital signature for that message is created with the aid of the private key that corresponds to the public key in your certificate.
client
Software (such as an Internet browser) that sends requests to and receives information from a <a href="#server">server</a>, which is usually running on a different computer. A computer on which client software runs is also described as a client.
A small bit of information stored on your computer by some web sites. When you visit such a site, the site asks &brandShortName; to place one or more cookies on your hard disk. Later, when you return to the site, &brandShortName; sends the site the cookies that belong to it. Cookies help web sites keep track of information about you, such as the contents of your shopping cart. You can set your cookies options to control how cookies are used and how much information you are willing to let web sites store on them.
cryptography
The art and practice of scrambling (encrypting) and unscrambling (decrypting) information. For example, cryptographic techniques are used to scramble and unscramble information flowing between commercial web sites and &brandShortName;.
decryption
The process of unscrambling data that has been encrypted. See also <a href="#encryption">encryption</a>.
digital ID
See <a href="#certificate">certificate</a>.
encryption
The process of scrambling information in a way that disguises its meaning. For example, encrypted connections between computers make it very difficult for third-parties to unscramble, or decrypt, information flowing over the connection. Encrypted information can be decrypted only by someone who possesses the appropriate key.
Extensible Markup Language (XML)
An open standard for describing data. Unlike HTML, XML allows the developer of a web page to define special tags. For more information, see the online W3C document <a href="http://www.w3.org/XML/">Extensible Markup Language (XML)</a>.
feed
An <a href="#XML">XML</a> web page that contains a list of links to other web pages. Special programs can read feeds to create a list of headlines from the links, automatically updating the list as it changes. News web sites use feeds to quickly publish the latest headlines, and personal online journals often use feeds to quickly notify visitors about new entries. See also <a href="#live_bookmark">Live Bookmark</a>.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
A standard that allows users to transfer files from one computer to another over a network. You can use &brandShortName; to fetch files using FTP.
FIPS PUBS 140-1
Federal Information Processing Standards Publications (FIPS PUBS) 140-1 is a US government standard for implementations of cryptographic modules — hardware or software that encrypts and decrypts data or performs other cryptographic operations (such as creating or verifying digital signatures). Many products sold to the US government must comply with one or more of the FIPS standards.
home page 首頁
The page &brandShortName; is set to display every time you launch it or when you click the Home button. Also used to refer to the main page for a web site from which you can explore the rest of the site.
Hypertext Markup Language (HTML)
The document format used for web pages. The HTML standard defines tags, or codes, used to define the text layout, fonts, style, images, and other elements that make up a web page.
Internet 網際網路
A worldwide network of millions of computers that communicate with each other using standard protocols such as <a href="#Transmission_Control_Protocol_Internet_Protocol">TCP/IP</a>. Originally developed for the US military in 1969, the Internet grew to include educational and research institutions and, in the late 1990s, millions of businesses, organizations, and individuals. Today the Internet is used for email, browsing the <a href="#World_Wide_Web">World Wide Web</a>, instant messaging, mailing lists and usegroups, and many other purposes.
Internet protocol address (IP address)
The address of a computer on a <a href="#Transmission_Control_Protocol_Internet_Protocol">TCP/IP</a> network. Every computer on the Internet has an IP address. <a href="#client">Clients</a> have either a permanent IP address or one that is dynamically assigned to them each time they connect with the network.
Java
A programming language developed by Sun Microsystems. A single Java program can run on many different kinds of computers, thus avoiding the need for programmers to create a separate version of each program for each kind of computer. After Java is installed, &brandShortName; can automatically download and run Java programs (also called applets).
JavaScript
A scripting language commonly used to construct web pages. Programmers use JavaScript to make web pages more interactive; JavaScript is often used to dynamically validate forms and select buttons. JavaScript can be used with Java, but it is technically a separate language. Java is not required for JavaScript to work correctly.
Live Bookmark 即時書籤
A special type of bookmark that acts as a folder to contain the links in a <a href="#feed">feed</a>. You can create a Live Bookmark by visiting a site with a feed, clicking on the Live Bookmark icon in the Location Bar, and selecting the feed you wish to use.
Location Bar 位址列
The field (and associated buttons) near the top of a &brandShortName; window where you can type a <a href="#Uniform_Resource_Locator">URL</a> or search terms.
master password 主密碼
A password used to protect saved passwords and other private data. &brandShortName; will prompt you for your master password when you wish to access this data. If you have multiple security devices, each security device will require a separate master password.
The toolbar near the top of the &brandShortName; window that includes the Back and Forward buttons.
Password Manager 密碼管理員
The part of &brandShortName; that can help you remember some or all of your names and passwords by storing them on your computer's hard disk and entering them for you automatically when you visit such sites.
PKCS #11
The public-key cryptography standard that governs security devices such as smart cards.
Plugin
Plugins add new capabilities to &brandShortName;, such as the ability to play audio or video clips. Unlike other kinds of helper applications, a Plugin installs itself into the Plugins directory within the main &brandShortName; installation directory and typically can be opened within &brandShortName; itself (internally). For example, an audio Plugin lets you listen to audio files on a web page or in an e-mail message. Macromedia Flash Player and Java are both examples of Plugin applications.
private key 私鑰
One of a pair of keys used in public-key cryptography. The private key is kept secret and is used to decrypt data that has been encrypted with the corresponding public key.
proxy 代理伺服器
An intermediary or "go-between" program that acts as both a <a href="#server">server</a> and a <a href="#client">client</a> for the purpose of making requests on behalf of other clients.
search engine 搜尋引擎
A web-based program that allows users to search for and retrieve specific information from the World Wide Web. The search engine may search the full text of web documents or a list of keywords; it may also use librarians who review web documents and index them manually for retrieval. Typically, the user types a word or phrase into a search box, and the search engine displays links to relevant web pages.
secure site 安全網站
A site that uses <a href="#encryption">encryption</a> in connections with &brandShortName; to prevent other malicious Internet users from viewing transmitted data. When you visit secure sites, &brandShortName; displays a lock icon in the <a href="#Status_Bar">Status Bar</a> and the <a href="#location_bar">Location Bar</a>. &brandShortName; also displays the site's domain name in the Status Bar (to prevent malicious sites from stealing your data) and turns the background of the Location Bar to yellow.
Some sites may consist of both secure and insecure data; the insecure data usually is non-private, although it isn't guaranteed to be so. For such sites &brandShortName; will display a lock icon with a slash through it in the Status Bar and Location Bar and will not display the site's domain name in the Status Bar so that you know that the current web page isn't completely secure.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
A protocol that allows mutual authentication between a <a href="#client">client</a> and a <a href="#server">server</a> for the purpose of establishing an authenticated and encrypted connection. SSL runs above TCP/IP and below HTTP, LDAP, IMAP, NNTP, and other high-level network protocols. The new Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) standard called Transport Layer Security (TLS) is based on SSL. See also <a href="#authentication">authentication</a>, <a href="#encryption">encryption</a>.
server 伺服器
Software (such as software that serves up web pages) that receives requests from and sends information to a <a href="#client">client</a>, which is usually running on a different computer. A computer on which server software runs is also described as a server.
Status Bar 狀態列
The toolbar that appears at the bottom of any &brandShortName; window. It shows status icons on the right.
TLS
See <a href="#Secure_Sockets_Layer">Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)</a>.
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
A Unix protocol used to connect computers running a variety of operating systems. TCP/IP is an essential Internet protocol and has become a global standard.
Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
The standardized address that tells &brandShortName; how to locate a file or other resource on the Web (for example, http://www.mozilla.org). Type URLs into &brandShortName;'s Location Bar to access web pages. URLs are also used in the links on web pages go to other web pages. Also known as an Internet or Web address.
web page 網頁
A single document on the World Wide Web that is specified by a unique address or URL. A web page may contain text, hyperlinks, and graphics.
web site 網站
A group of related web pages linked by hyperlinks and managed by a single company, organization, or individual. A web site may include text, graphics, audio and video files, and links to other web sites.
World Wide Web 全球資訊網
Also known as the Web. A portion of the Internet that is made up of web pages stored by web <a href="#server">servers</a> and displayed by <a href="#client">clients</a> called web browsers (such as &brandShortName;).
亦稱為 Web,以<a href="#server">伺服器</a>上的網頁所組成,為網際網路的一部分。閱覽網頁用的<a href="#client">客戶端程式</a>即稱為瀏覽器 (例如 &brandShortName;)。
