Interface definition language (IDL) -- the specification language used to describe a software component's application programming interface (API) -- is commonly used in Remote Procedure Call software. In this case, IDL provides a bridge between the machines at either end of the link that might ...
Remote code execution (RCE) is when an attacker accesses a target computing device and makes changes remotely, no matter where the device is located. RCE is a broad category of attacks can have minor effects of victim systems, but they can also be quite serious. Two of the well-known RCE...
Remote Method Invocation (RMI) is an application programming interface (API) in theJavaprogramming language and development environment. It allowsobjectson one computer or Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to interact with objects running on a different JVM in a distributed network. Another way to say thi...
Remote procedure calls (RPCs) In traditional applications, procedure calls, sometimes called function calls, are used to access the devices and services of the computer on which the application is running. Opening and reading files or writing to the computer’s display or other devices are function...
What is remote browser isolation (RBI)? Remote browser isolation (RBI) technology, also called “cloud-hosted browser isolation, loads webpages and executes any associated code on a cloud server, far removed from users’ local devices and organizations' internal networks. The user's browsing sessi...
FreeSync syncs a monitor’s refresh rate to match the rate at which your graphics card produces new frames. The end result is very similar. The main difference between the two is price. FreeSync is built using the Adaptive Sync Standard. This is an open standard that other manufacturers can...
and this is commonly referred to as the internet of things (IoT). IoT devices, such as smart home appliances, wearables, and industrial sensors, can be programmed to collect and transmit data over the internet. This connectivity allows for remote control, monitoring, and automation of these dev...
A remote procedure call (RPC) is a network programming model or interprocess communication technique that is used for point-to-point communications between software applications. Client and server applications communicate during this process. A remote procedure call is sometimes called a function call or...
A PLC ( Programmable Logic Controller) is a ruggedized computer used for industrial automation. These controllers can automate a specific process. Learn about configuration, programming, implementation, and more.
What Is Cloud Computing? Cloud computing is a model for delivering computing services, including infrastructure, software, storage, databases, development platforms and more, over the internet. The remote data centers where these services run are referred to as “the cloud,” while the companies tha...
