The definition provided by NIST matches the description of cloud computing, as it emphasizes the provision of computing resources (such as processing power, storage, and applications) through network access, on-demand provisioning, and minimal service provider interaction. Green computing refers to environmentally sustainable practices in computing, social networking refers to online platforms for communication and collaboration, internetworking refers to the connection of different networks, and web phishing refers to fraudulent attempts to obtain personal or sensitive information through deception.
