  "term": "jitter",
  "field": "Cybersecurity",
  "definition": "1. As it relates to queuing, the difference in latency of packets.\n\n2. non-uniform delays that can cause packets to arrive and be processed out of sequence\n\n3. The time or phase difference between the data signal and the ideal clock.\n\n4. The short-term variations of the significant instants of a timing signal from their ideal positions in time (where short-term implies that these variations are of frequency greater than or equal to 10 Hz).",
