Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct term is "trap door," also known as a "backdoor." It refers to a method of bypassing normal authentication or encryption in a computer system, a program, or a part of a program for accessing the system or data, without going through the usual security procedures. This can be used for debugging or other legitimate purposes, but can also be exploited for malicious intent if discovered by unauthorized users.
