a concise, agreed upon glossary of security terms would be the greatest contribution this list could make. perhaps along the lines of what sans did with hardening nt and "intrusion detection". if steve, or someone wanted to write the first draft that would be good. or a "brainstorming" then "multi-voting" approach ala tqm. that would serve the audit community and the engineering community which would enable management to fund the "known" things as opposed to "all you security fanatics keep arguing the same old religion..." --roger Adam Shostack wrote: [snip]
As the engineering community, we have a duty to define terms rigorously; your example of the poor definition of FW is an excellent one. If we had a standard that we could agree to, then we wouldn't have the argument. I'm perfectly willing to hand my proxy (ahem) to Steve, if he's willing to be the language police and offer us a glossary. I may not agree with his definitions, but we can argue ad infinitum to little effect, and so, for progress, I'll abstain. Adam -- "It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once." -Hume
