| English | Italian |
| 64-bit | a 64 bit (Of, pertaining to, or descriptive of the amount of data -64 bits, or 8 bytes- that certain computer systems or programs can process at one time) |
| bit block transfer | trasferimento di blocchi di bit (A graphics function that moves many continuous bits from one memory location to another in the most efficient manner supported by the hardware) |
| 128-bit encryption | crittografia a 128 bit (A high level of encryption that uses a 128-bit key to scramble the contents of a file or data packet to make the data unreadable without the decryption key) |
| 40-bit encryption | crittografia a 40 bit (A low level of encryption that uses a 40-bit key to scramble the contents of a file or data packet to make the data unreadable without the decryption key) |
| 32 bit machine | computer a 32 bit (A computer that works with data in groups of 32 bits at a time. The Apple Macintosh II and higher models are 32-bit machines, in terms of both the word size of their microprocessors and the size of the data buses, as are computers based on the Intel 80386 and higher-level microprocessors) |
| bit mask | maschera di bit (A numeric value intended for a bit-by-bit value comparison with other numeric values, typically to flag options in parameter or return values. Usually this comparison is done with bitwise logical operators, such as And and Or in Visual Basic, && and || in C++) |
| bit rate | velocità in bit (The speed at which binary digits are transmitted) |
| bit-rate throttling | Bit Rate Throttling (The ability to slow down the rate at which files can be downloaded) |
| bit specification | specifica in bit (The number of colors or levels of gray that can be displayed at one time. The amount or memory in the computer's graphics controller card controls the display. An 8-bit controller can display 256 colors or levels of gray; a 16-bit controller, 64,000 colors; and a 24-bit controller, 16.8 million colors) |
| 128-bit SSL encryption | crittografia SSL a 128 bit (An encryption level used for SSL. The number refers to the length of the key, so the higher the number, the more difficult the encryption is to break) |
| bit-wise comparison | confronto bit per bit (A bit-by-bit comparison of identically positioned bits in two numeric expressions) |
| broadcast bit | bit di trasmissione (A one-bit field value in the flags field of the DHCP packet sent by the client to provide a hint to the DHCP server and to the relay agents to broadcast any messages sent to the client) |
| constant bit rate | velocità in bit costante (A characteristic of a data stream in which the bit rate remains nearly uniform for the duration of the stream) |
| high bit | bit significativo (The most significant bit in a byte) |
| multiple bit rate | velocità in bit multipla (A characteristic of a data stream in which the same content is encoded at several different bit rates in oder to optimize content delivery) |
| multiple bit rate encoding | codifica con velocità in bit multipla (An encoding method where a single WMV file contains several streams of varying bit rates) |
| parity bit | bit di parità (In asynchronous communications, an extra bit used in checking for errors in groups of data bits transferred within or between computer systems. In modem-to-modem communications, a parity bit is often used to check the accuracy with which each character is transmitted) |
| secure bit | bit di protezione (The bit in a key message used to notify the supplicant and authenticator when a key exchange is complete and a link is considered secure. The bit is set to 0 (not secure) or 1 (secure)) |
| variable bit rate | velocità in bit variabile (A characteristic of a data stream in which the bit rate fluctuates, depending upon the complexity of the data) |
