Industry:Software; Computer
A methodology of creating a product from a target that makes the product more appropriate for debugging and testing.
Industry:Software; Computer
A gating mechanism that ensures single-threaded access to the data structures and hardware registers used by a driver. Specifically, it is a mutex lock associated with a thread. A work loop typically has several event sources attached to it; they use the work loop to ensure a protected, gated context for processing events. See also event source.
Industry:Software; Computer
A file that identifies an iPhone application developer. Xcode uses development certificates to sign application binaries.
Industry:Software; Computer
An attack on a communication channel in which the attacker can intercept messages going between two parties without the communicating parties’ knowledge. Typically, the man in the middle substitutes messages and even cryptographic keys to impersonate one party to the other.

A color space that is tied to the system of color representation for a particular device. This type of color space is not suitable for interchanges of color data between different devices.
Industry:Software; Computer
Interprocess communication. A set of programming interfaces that enables a process to communicate data or information to another process. Mechanisms for IPC exist in the various layers of the system, from Mach messaging in the kernel to distributed notifications and Apple events in the application environments. Each IPC mechanism has its own advantages and limitations, so it is not unusual for a program to use multiple IPC mechanisms. Other IPC mechanisms include pipes, named pipes, signals, message queueing, semaphores, shared memory, sockets, the Clipboard, and application services.
