TS ISO/IEC 2382-8

TS ISO/IEC 2382-8 is the vocabulary part of the information technology terminology series focused on security. It organises terms and definitions for selected security-related concepts and shows relationships among the entries, supporting a common technical language for topics such as protection of data and information, cryptography, information classification, access control, recovery of data and information, and security violation.

Why security vocabulary needs careful separation

In information technology, security is broader than blocking unauthorised access. It spans several distinct but connected ideas, including authentication, authorisation, confidentiality, integrity, availability, and the ability to recover after an incident. A well-structured vocabulary helps prevent these concepts from being conflated and makes technical documentation, specifications, and organisational communication more precise and consistent.

What this part covers in practical terms

• Cryptography and related security concepts
• Information classification and access control
• Recovery of data and information
• Terms connected with security violation and security incidents
• Defined relationships and cross-references between concepts

This listing is the Turkish edition based on ISO/IEC 2382-8 and it has been withdrawn. Its role is terminology rather than prescribing a security scheme, implementation method, or product requirement. In practice, its value lies in providing a stable conceptual framework for understanding and using security terms in information technology.
