Share: SSL

SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer. It is the standard technology to keep an internet connection secure, safeguarding any sensitive data that is being sent between two systems, can be server to server or a server and a client, preventing criminals from reading and modifying any information transferred.

SSL uses encryption algorithms to scramble data in transit, makes sure that any data transferred between users and sites, or between two systems remain impossible to read, preventing hackers from reading it as it is sent over the connection.

TLS (Transport Layer Security) is an updated, more secure, version of SSL. Not only is TLS more secure and performant, most modern web browsers no longer support SSL 2.0 and SSL 3.0. While SSL is still the dominant term on the Internet, most people really mean TLS when they say SSL.

HTTPS (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure) appears in the URL when a website is secured by an SSL certificate. The details of the certificate, including the issuing authority and the corporate name of the website owner, can be viewed by clicking on the lock symbol on the browser bar.

Once submitted through LHDN’s MyInvois system, the invoice is validated and becomes an official legal document, complete with a timestamp and unique identifier. This system removes the need for paper documentation an...

Share: Morse Code

Morse code is a method used in telecommunication to encode text characters as standardized sequences of two different signal durations, called dots and dashes or dits and dahs. Morse code is named after Samuel Morse, an inventor of the telegraph. International Morse Code, also known as Continental Morse Code, encodes the 26 English letters A to Z, some non-English letters, the Arabic numerals and a small set of punctuation and procedural signals (prosigns). There is no distinction between upper and lower case letters. Morse code can be transmitted in a number of ways: as electrical pulses along a telegraph wire, as an audio tone, a radio signal with short and long tones, or as a mechanical, audible, or visual signal e.g. a flashing light  or even a car horn. Some mine rescues have used pulling on a rope, a short pull for a dot and a long pull for a dash. Morse code is transmitted using just two states - on and off. Historians have called it the first digital code. Morse code may be...
