Sistema automático de protección de programas y
elementos de procesamiento cuando se detecta un fallo.
Automatic protection of
programs and/or processing systems when hardware or software failure is
detected. [CNSSI_4009:2010]
Selective termination of
affected nonessential processing when hardware or software failure is
determined to be imminent. [CNSSI_4009:2010]
1. (I) Synonym for
"fail-secure".
2. (I) A mode of termination
of system functions that prevents damage to specified system resources and
system entities (i.e., specified data, property, and life) when a failure occurs
or is detected in the system (but the failure still might cause a security
compromise). (See: failure control.)
[RFC4949:2007]
(I) A mode of termination of
system functions that prevents loss of secure state when a failure occurs or is
detected in the system (but the failure still might cause damage to some system
resource or system entity). (See: failure control. Compare: fail-safe.)
[RFC4949:2007]
(I) Selective termination of
affected, non-essential system functions when a failure occurs or is detected
in the system. (See: failure control.) [RFC4949:2007]
(I) A methodology used to
provide fail-safe, fail-secure or fail- soft termination and recovery of system
functions. [FP039] [RFC4949:2007]
