Computer security lets agents perform allowed actions but not disallowed ones.

Availability ensures resources are usable whenever needed by an authorized user.

Anonymity can protect privacy.

Most useful systems can be made absolutely secure.

In an indirect attack, one computer causes another computer to launch the attack.

In computer security, defense is easier than offense.

A threat is a potential violation of security.

A trap door is a program that infects other programs.

Objects in access control are active entities like users and processes.

An exposure is an information leak that may assist an attacker.
