Dictionary of Information Security
When I was allowed to join the august ranks of those facilitating the (ISC)2 (International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium) CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) CBK (Common Body of Knowledge) review seminar, one thing quickly became very clear: the desperate need for a dictionary. All fields of technology have their own jargon. Those of us in security tend to be worse than those in other fields, because we frequently take perfectly good words or phrases and invest them with specialized meanings.
In fact, one of the CISSP study guides, the CISSP (Exam Cram) by Mandy Andress, is essentially a glossary. It is in topical, and not alphabetical, order, but is presented as a list of key terms and phrases.
This need for a better explanation of the mass of security terminology was rather ironic in regard to the CISSP seminars. The CISSP certification is described in a number of ways. While some security professionals are generalists and others specialize in diverse fields, we try to stress to candidates that one of the benefits of a CISSP designation is that it ensures that the holder knows what he (or she) is talking about in regard to security. All CISSPs should, at the very least, be able to talk to each other. (Actually, I’ve seen this work out in rather dramatic ways at times.)
