About the I3P Cyber Security Glossary

The I3P Cyber Security Glossary was conceived as an opportunity to draw together definitions for terms used in the field of cyber security from disparate sources. Terms included in the glossary were initially chosen from keywords used in the I3P Digital Libaray. Source glossaries were selected based on their completeness, reputation (as determined by what organizations and persons link to or cite them), and ease of use.

The following Glossaries were used:

RFC 2828 - Internet Security Glossary
