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.

Undocumented

features included in a program that were not described in the users manual. Sometimes undocumented items are left out unintentionally. Some-times undocumented features were present to facilitate the writing of the program by the designers and programmers and thought to be unimportant to the end-user. Other times, such features are present as part of a test in determining whether they will be included in future versions of the program.
