Opaque Binary Blob (or OBB for short; plural: OBBs for blobs) is a term used in Network Engineering and Computer Science to refer to a sizeable piece of data, which looks like binary garbage from outside (by entities which do not know what that blob denotes or carries) but make sense to entities which have access permission to them, and have access functions to them.
