5. Security Considerations

This document mainly defines security terms and recommends how to use them. It also provides limited tutorial information about security aspects of Internet protocols, but it does not describe in detail the vulnerabilities of, or threats to, specific protocols and does not definitively describe mechanisms that protect specific protocols.

6. Normative Reference

(R2119) Bradner, S., “Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels”, BCP 14, RFC 2119, March 1997.

7. Informative References

This Glossary focuses on the Internet Standards Process. Therefore, this set of informative references emphasizes international, governmental, and industrial standards documents. Some RFCs that are especially relevant to Internet security are mentioned in Glossary entries in square brackets (e.g., “[R1457]” in the entry for “security label”) and are listed here; some other RFCs are mentioned in parentheses (e.g., “(RFC 959)” in the entry for “File Transport Protocol”) but are not listed here.
