en el producto, para posteriormente poder acceder directamente al sistema.
1. A means of
reading cryptographically protected information by the use of private knowledge
of weaknesses in the cryptographic algorithm used to protect the data. See also
back door.
2. In
cryptography, one-to-one function that is easy to compute in one direction, yet
believed to be difficult to invert without special information.
[CNSSI_4009:2010]
A hidden software
or hardware mechanism that can be triggered to permit system protection
mechanisms to be circumvented in some innocent-appearing manner; e.g., a
special "random" key sequence at a keyboard. Software developers
often introduce trap doors in their code to enable them to reenter the system
and perform certain functions.
Synonymous with
back door.
[IRM-5239-8:1995]
A hidden software
or hardware mechanism that permits system protection mechanisms to be
circumvented. It is activated in some non-apparent manner (e.g., special
"random" key sequence at a terminal). [TCSEC:1985]
