handshakes
Deal-sealing gestures typically
Handshakes is the plural of handshake—the gesture of grasping and briefly shaking another person's right hand as greeting, agreement, or farewell.
The ritual varies by culture and context: firm handshakes, limp handshakes, secret handshakes used by fraternal organizations.
In computing, a handshake is an automated exchange of signals establishing a connection between devices or systems.
