informIT: Software Fault Injection

[Gary McGraw <gem () cigital com>]

hi sc-l,

Some minor kurfuffle has erupted on the net recently over the "invention" and subsequent patenting of software fault 
injection by Cenzic.  I found the idea amusing enough to make it the subject of this month's informIT column.  You see, 
I was taught all about software fault injection for security by Jeff Voas in 1995.  We wrote a book about it together 
in 1997.

Anyway, software patents?!  You betcha.
