BLACKLIST

Blacklist

In computing, a blacklist or block list is a basic access control mechanism that allows through all elements, except those explicitly mentioned. Those items on the list are denied access. The opposite is a whitelist, which means only items on the list are let through whatever gate is being used. A greylist contains items that are temporarily blocked until an additional step is performed.
