data restoration

The act of regenerating data that have been lost or contaminated.
Note: Methods include copying data from archive, data reconstitution from alternative sources, or data reconstruction from source data. [2382-pt.8]

data scrambler

A device used in digital transmission systems to convert digital signals into a pseudorandom sequence that is free from long strings of simple patterns, such as marks and spaces.
Note: The data scrambler facilitates timing extraction, reduces the accumulation of jitter, and prevents baseline drift.

data security

[The] protection of data from unauthorized (accidental or intentional) modification, destruction, or disclosure. [INFOSEC-99]

data separation

The application of encryption as a means of access control. [After X9.69]

data service unit (DSU)

1. A device used for interfacing data terminal equipment (DTE) to the public telephone network.
2. A type of short-haul, synchronous-data line driver, usually installed at a user location, that connects user synchronous equipment over a 4-wire circuit at a preset transmission rate to a servicing central office.
Note: This service can be for a point-to-point or multipoint operation in… (Read More →)

data signaling rate (DSR)

The aggregate rate at which data pass a point in the transmission path of a data transmission system.
Note 1: The DSR is usually expressed in bits per second.
Note 2: The data signaling rate is given by where m is the number of parallel channels, ni is the number of significant conditions of the modulation in the I-th channel,… (Read More →)
