{
  "id": "MLC-T-CYB-002842",
  "term": "Noise",
  "field": "Cybersecurity",
  "definition": "A convenient term for a series of random disturbances borrowed through communication engineering, from the theory of sound. In communication theory, noise results in the possibility of a signal sent, x, being different from the signal received, y, and the latter has a probability distribution conditional upon x. If the disturbances consist of impulses at random intervals, it is sometimes known as “shot noise.”",
