3DES (Triple DES)

Uses the same algorithm as standard DES, but increases the key space by encrypting, decrypting, and then encrypting the data again, using different keys in an effort to prevent a brute-force attack. 3DES leverages all the security of DES while effectively lengthening the key. See also DES.

10Base2

The ethernet specification for thin coaxial cable, which transmits signals at 10Mbps (megabits per second), with a distance limit of 185 meters per segment without using a repeater. The 10 in the media type designation refers to the transmission speed in Mbps. The Base refers to baseband signaling. The last number varies for different media types. A T, for example, means twisted-pair cable, and F stands for fiber-optic cable ...
