NIST IR 7298 Revision 1, Glossary of Key Information Security Terms Accreditation – See Authorization. Accreditation Authority – See Authorizing Official. Accreditation Boundary – See Authorization Boundary. Accreditation Package – Product comprised of a System Security Plan (SSP) and a report documenting the basis for the accreditation decision. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Accrediting Authority – Synonymous with Designated Accrediting Authority (DAA). See also Authorizing Official. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Activation Data – Private data, other than keys, that are required to access cryptographic modules. SOURCE: SP 800-32 Active Attack – An attack that alters a system or data. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Active Content – Electronic documents that can carry out or trigger actions automatically on a computer platform without the intervention of a user. SOURCE: SP 800-28 Software in various forms that is able to automatically carry out or trigger actions on a computer platform without the intervention of a user. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Active Security Testing – Security testing that involves direct interaction with a target, such as sending packets to a target. SOURCE: SP 800-115 Activities – An assessment object that includes specific protection-related pursuits or actions supporting an information system that involve people (e.g., conducting system backup operations, monitoring network traffic). SOURCE: SP 800-53A Add-on Security – Incorporation of new hardware, software, or firmware safeguards in an operational information system. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Pg 6
NIST IR 7298 Revision 1, Glossary of Key Information Security Terms Adequate Security – Security commensurate with the risk and the magnitude of harm resulting from the loss, misuse, or unauthorized access to or modification of information. SOURCE: SP 800-53; FIPS 200; OMB Circular A-130, App. III Security commensurate with the risk and magnitude of harm resulting from the loss, misuse, or unauthorized access to or modification of information. Note: This includes assuring that information systems operate effectively and provide appropriate confidentiality, integrity, and availability, through the use of cost-effective management, personnel, operational, and technical controls. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009; SP 800-37 Administrative Account – A user account with full privileges on a computer. SOURCE: SP 800-69 Administrative Safeguards – Administrative actions, policies, and procedures to manage the selection, development, implementation, and maintenance of security measures to protect electronic health information and to manage the conduct of the covered entity's workforce in relation to protecting that information. SOURCE: SP 800-66 Advanced Encryption Standard – (AES) The Advanced Encryption Standard specifies a U.S. governmentapproved cryptographic algorithm that can be used to protect electronic data. The AES algorithm is a symmetric block cipher that can encrypt (encipher) and decrypt (decipher) information. This standard specifies the Rijndael algorithm, a symmetric block cipher that can process data blocks of 128 bits, using cipher keys with lengths of 128, 192, and 256 bits. SOURCE: FIPS 197 A U.S. government-approved cryptographic algorithm that can be used to protect electronic data. The AES algorithm is a symmetric block cipher that can encrypt (encipher) and decrypt (decipher) information. SOURCE: CNSSI-4009 Advanced Key Processor (AKP) – A cryptographic device that performs all cryptographic functions for a management client node and contains the interfaces to 1) exchange information with a client platform, 2) interact with fill devices, and 3) connect a client platform securely to the primary services node (PRSN).
