Try the links at:
http://www.freeswan.org/freeswan_trees/freeswan-1.8/doc/glossary.html#gloss

especially the glossary of networking terms:
http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1208.txt

and the jargon file:
http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/jargon/html/index.html

which includes definition for common online acronyms like IMHO:
