English term or phrase: handshaking
Definition from Javvin Technologies, Inc.:
In the context of computers, handshaking indicates hardware or software to establish or maintain two machines or programs in synchronisation. Handshaking often requires the exchange of messages or packets of data between two systems. Hardware handshaking signals between two computers which are carried by voltage levels or pulses on wires. There are many handshaking protocols for software handshaking. Basically, the handshaking protocol send a "hello" message to the receiving system and get a "ok" responce. When the communication between the two systems finished, a "finish" message should be send and confirmed by both systems.

Example sentence(s):
  • Once the address of another servent on the network is obtained, a TCP/IP connection to the servent is created, and a handshaking sequence is initiated. Lime Wire
  • GFI Network Server Monitor can check NNTP news servers by starting a handshake connection on the remote TCP port (normally port 119). By handshaking, GFI Network Server Monitor can verify that the remote server's NNTP protocol is online and functional. GFI Software
  • A handshaking protocol is also used to ensure the logical ordering in data communication between the modules, where we have adopted bit-serial architecture to reduce the communication costs in handshaking. One issues in the bit-serial handshaking (BSHS) system is the synchronization of the input data when the module has multiple input ports. cat.inist.fr

Definition from Version2 - IT-Leksikon:
Similarly to a number of other terms in IT (e.g. computer (en) = computer (da)), this term is used untranslated in Danish. The only change is that, instead of 'handshak*ing*', it becomes 'handshak*e*' in Danish.

Example sentence(s):
  • Handshake svarer således til et "håndslag", idet en aktiv og koordineret indsats fra hver part er nødvendig. - Version2 - IT-Leksikon  
  • Handshake et noget af det første der sker når en forbindelse er etableret, her aftales fejlkorrektionsprotokol, hastighed, komprimering m.m. inden den aktuelle kommunikation påbegyndes. - EDB Ordbog  
  • Dataoverførslen/betjeningen er sikret igennem ”handshake”-validering. - Måleteknik og dataopsamling 5. MM  

Explanation:
Det engelske ord "handshake" bruges almindeligvis også på dansk.

som det fremgår af de 'references' jeg har citeret, er handshak*e* almindeligt anvendt på dansk.

evawin Netop som NetLynx bemærker: ifølge Clausens "handshaking" eller det gode danske "håndtryk".


Votes in favor of/against selecting this as the best translation of the term asked
Yes  NetLynx: Burde det ikke hedde 'handshaking', hvis der ikke kan findes et dansk ord? Jeg har en fornemmelse af, at der på engelsk er forskel på 'handshaking' og [navneordet] 'handshake' (?)

  -> det er meget muligt at det burde 'i princip' hedde 'handshak*ing*' hvis det skulle følge øvrige regler, det skal jeg ikke kunne sige. Men det hedder altså handshake så vidt jeg kan se (Google).
