TERMINOLOGIES AND TAXONOMIES Sample Clauses

TERMINOLOGIES AND TAXONOMIES. It is important to be clear about what we mean by safety and security, particularly if we are attempting to identify what the two domains have in common and how they differ. The dependability taxonomy presented in [30] provides a way of addressing this issue. According to this taxonomy, safety and security can both be viewed as forms of dependability, which is defined as “the ability of a system to deliver a service that can justifiably be trusted”. The service delivered by a system is its behaviour as perceived by its users, which might be other systems. Correct service is delivered when the system implements the intended system function. A failure occurs when the delivered service deviates from the correct service. The underlying cause of the failure is called a fault and the manifestation of the fault within the system is called an error. The failure of a component at one level of the system manifests itself as a fault at the next level of the system, so there is a causal chain of fault propagation between different levels of the system. The dependability taxonomy includes a detailed classification of different kinds of faults and failures, which can be used to explain the distinction between safety and security.
