TERMINOLOGY
People may assign different meanings to some of the key terms in this area. For
example, a security professional may use “digital signature” to refer to a method for two devices
to establish a secure, recognized connection, while a marketing professional may use “digital
signature” to refer to how a consumer signs an application for insurance online. Both persons
would be correct, from their perspective. To reduce confusion, at the end of this paper is a
glossary of capitalized terms as those terms are used in this paper.
