Basic concepts and taxonomy of dependable and secure computing

摘要: This paper gives the main definitions relating to dependability, a generic concept including special case of such attributes as reliability, availability, safety, integrity, maintainability, etc. Security brings in concerns for confidentiality, addition availability and integrity. Basic are given first. They then commented upon, supplemented by additional definitions, which address threats dependability security (faults, errors, failures), their attributes, means achievement (fault prevention, fault tolerance, removal, forecasting). The aim is explicate set general concepts, relevance across wide range situations and, therefore, helping communication cooperation among number scientific technical communities, ones that concentrating on particular types system, system failures, or causes failures.
