COMPUSECese Computer Security Glossary - NCSC-WA-001-85

About

The predecessor to the Teal Green Book (NCSC-TG-004), this is a reprint of an extremely rare and unique publication from 1985.

This is an early Computer Security Glossary published by the NCSC, with a title of "COMPUSECese" (as in legalese, using the -ese suffix to denote a particular jargon). The publication contains a list of various COMPUSEC terms, and provides an interesting window into the vernacular of the era.

You will not find a PDF, or textfile for this online. I have not seen this for sale anywhere. As far as I know, this may be the only remaining source of this publication. This does not exist in WorldCat, which catalogs libraries across the world. The only mention I've found of this is by way of reference to the Teal Green Book, which supercedes this book.
