I am performing a cleanup of the article by fixing grammatical errors, rewording wordy and poorly organized sentences and citing some references. I'm also adding an Applications section to the article to expand it. Soloxide (talk) 22:14, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

That's a good idea and a commendable ambition. It's a very good article but it does need a lot of work! Dr Roots (talk) 13:31, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Early history of security by design

This section currently cites Multics as the first system designed to be secure from the start. I seriously wonder what the IBM people would say about this. Dr Roots (talk) 13:32, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

[edit] MBTA vs. Anderson

I would appreciate if anyone could lend a hand in fleshing out the MBTA vs. Anderson case. Madcoverboy (talk) 18:56, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The mathness

The otherwise very well formulated introduction has a quirky stmt:

For this reason, computer security is often more technical and mathematical than some computer science fields.^{[citation needed]}

OK, so maybe the stmt needs citations, but foremost it needs clarification: some computer fields, does that regards the technology, or could it also refer to usages? If the later, then certainly true, since all computer technology is immersed by maths oriented topics, although those topics could be avoided by not adressing them. In my thinking, a well performed security analysis requires a huge disproof apparatus against errors occurring, applied to each subfunctionality of an analysed functionality and also applied to the dynamic whole of all collaborating subfunctionalities. Since the subfunctionalities might very well behave erroneous, except under the strictures imposed by the execution inherent in the full functionality executing, the error disproof to be performed might be math-level complex. So the statement is very true under this interpretation, but I think this interpretation must be formulated into the sentence. ... said: Rursus (bork²) 12:46, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Computer Security Agency

The c.s.a[computer security agency] is a corporation that detects bugs and viruses in computer networks. It was designed to help save peoples identity and personal information. It also protects large corporations from people who wish to steal money or homework answers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.171.53 (talk) 02:44, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
