a method for constructing a message authentication code based on a cryptographic hash function.

Cryptosystems which support computation on encrypted data. They might be partially homomorphic (support for one operation such as + or *) or they might be fully homomorphic (+ and * at the same time).

"host-proof" means that no unencrypted or insecure data is stored on the server or passed over the network.

Linear Feedback Shift Register, a pseudorandom bit generator which can be efficiently implemented in hardware.
× 3
a typically short alphanumeric code used as a software copy-protection mechanism, by requiring a user to enter a valid key before they can use the software.
