Cyber Glossary
Cyberlaw dictionary is an alphabetical reference guide to technical and legal terms related to the Internet. The site you are now browsing contains over 500 definitions of words drawn from Standard Internet English including technical terms and their meanings. Our aim is to explain basic technical jargon of cyberspace to those who are not familiar with its jargon. We've given preference to terms that are widely used, like modem or bandwidth, and to those that describe new concepts specific to the Internet experience such as phishing or sexting.
Log On
(log in) to connect to a computer; to begin a session, or to connect to a network. Usually, there are a series of required functions, often including the entering of a password that must be completed to log on to the Internet. Fortunately, these functions may be set one time (a password may be retained and called up automatically at the start of each session), and kept as a file by your Web browser, so the process is easy each time.
