abnormal termination of a software process or a system (ABnormal END); a crash. The word derives from an error message originally displayed on the IBM 360 computer: it does not appear in error messages of current operating systems although the term is still used. Abnormal or unexpected termination may result in possible security vulnerabilities, and so the term may also be used to refer to the option to terminate, in a controlled manner, a processing activity in a computer system because it is impossible or undesirable for the activity to proceed.
standard for describing data objects, this notation format is important to security because of its significance in networking discussions. OSI (Open System Interconnection) standards use ASN.1 to specify data formats for protocols. Syntax is needed to define abstract objects, and encoding rules are needed to transform between abstract objects and bit strings. In ASN.1, formal names are written without spaces, and separate words in a name are indicated by capitalizing the first letter of each word except the first word. For example, the name of a CRL is certificateRevocationList.
written policy outlining the usage that may or may not be made of computing or network resources. Previously, this applied primarily to institutions (such as universities) providing access to systems such as the Internet.
