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.
User name
a name that allows a user access to a computer, network, or message forum. When logging onto a computer or network it is often necessary to enter a username and password. The username might be a proper name like Chester, or a nickname such as sluggo. The username may or may not be case sensitive. If case sensitive, it must be typed exactly as it was originally given. For ex-ample, Sluggo is different than sluggo.
