In my software engineering class, we were taught this definition: security: handles about dependability, authenticity, integrity, confidentiality, availability, etc. In German: "Betriebsicherheit" safety: Handles about the safety with computer driven machines, that can affect man, like medical radiation systems, elevators. It handles about how can be assured that nobody gets hurt by running that software. In German: "Technische Sicherheit". These definitions do not seem to be accepted in general. I've also heard about university, which have the same definitions, but exactly the other way round. According to quick googling, 'my' definition seem to be the more widespread one. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4
