Mark,
You can also try the following website http://www.whatis.com. It is a very
useful site for technical terms. Hope it helps.

For a long time I have wanted to be able to point to a common set of definitions
for security terms (not the usual BS marketing / Hax0r terms) that I can use and
adopt in technical and non-technical writing. Things like the WASP Top Ten
re-write. So I created one using a Wiki so poeple can add, change and refactor
until a consensus is acheived. I started with the definitions used by NIST.
