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.
