Information AboutWhite List |
|
If an organization keeps a white list of Software , only titles on the list will be accepted for use. For example, a school might whitelist MATLAB and Netscape Navigator , thus allowing only those programs to be used on its computers. The benefits of whitelisting in this instance are that the school administration can ensure itself that students will not be able to download and/or use programs that have not been deemed appropriate for use. If a Spam filter keeps a whitelist, mail from the listed addresses, domains, and/or IPs will always be allowed. Whitelists are used to reduce the incidence of False Positives , often based on the assumption that most legitimate mail will be from a relatively small and fixed set of senders. |
