Terms and definitions used in the Glossary reflect current safeguards and security terminology. It is not intended that the definitions
imply or be construed as establishing requirements. Since some terms have different definitions depending on the topical area, each
definition includes, when possible, the programmatic area and source document. General terms defined in dictionaries have been
intentionally omitted. Recommendations for revisions to this Glossary are encouraged and should be submitted to the Office of Security
using the link in the footer.
