Mark,
      You can also try the following website http://www.whatis.com. It is a

For a long time I have wanted to be able to point to a common set of
definitions for security terms (not the usual BS marketing / Hax0r terms)
that I can use and adopt in technical and non-technical writing. Things
like the OWASP Top Ten re-write. So I created one using a Wiki so poeple
can add, change and refactor until a consensus is acheived. I started with
the definitions used by NIST.
