(rare) Or (but not both).
(logic) The connective "exclusive or".
The XOR of (0,0) is 0; (0,1) is 1; (1,0) is 1; and (1,1) is 0.
(electrical engineering) A logic gate that implements "exclusive or".
(programming) The symbolic representation that implements "exclusive or".
XOR can be used to add bits without carrying.

A less obvious way is to XOR a register with itself. Source: Internet
A way you can mark number as positive or negative without using a multiplexer on each bit is to use a XOR (Exclusive OR) gate to precede each bit instead. Source: Internet
Because XOR is linear, an attacker may be able to manipulate an encoded pointer by overwriting only the lower bytes of an address. Source: Internet
IDEA derives much of its security by interleaving operations from different groups modular addition and multiplication, and bitwise exclusive or (XOR) which are algebraically "incompatible" in some sense. Source: Internet
If processed bit by bit then after shifting a conditional XOR with 0x1B should be performed if the shifted value is larger than 0xFF (overflow must be corrected by subtraction of generating polynomial). Source: Internet
