handshaking n. very common hardware or software activity designed to
   start or keep two machines or programs in synchronization as they do
   protocol. often applied to human activity; thus, a hacker might watch
   two people in conversation nodding their heads to indicate that they
   have heard each others' points and say "oh, they're handshaking". see
   also protocol.

handshaking
     
        1. predetermined hardware or software activity designed to
        establish or maintain two machines or programs in
        synchronisation.  handshaking often concerns the exchange of
        messages or packets of data between two systems with limited
        buffers.  a simple handshaking protocol might only involve
        the receiver sending a message meaning "i received your last
        message and i am ready for you to send me another one."  a
        more complex handshaking protocol might allow the sender to
        ask the receiver if he is ready to receive or for the receiver
        to reply with a negative acknowledgement meaning "i did not
        receive your last message correctly, please resend it" e.g. if
        the data was corrupted en route.
     
        hardware handshaking uses voltage levels or pulses on wires
        to carry the handshaking signals whereas software
        handshaking uses data units e.g. ascii characters carried
        by some underlying communication medium.
     
        flow control in bit-serial data transmission such as
        eia-232 may use either hardware or software handshaking.
     
        2. the method used by two modems to establish contact with
        each other and to agreee on baud rate, error correction
        and compression protocols.
     
        3. the exchange of predetermined signals between agents
        connected by a communications channel to assure each that it
        is connected to the other and not to an imposter.  this may
        also include the use of passwords and codes by an operator.
