	STSC CrossTalk - What Is Information Assurance? - Jul 2002 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		An understanding of information assurance is critical because its activities involve many disciplines, and these activities permeate all phases of software life-cycle development and system maintenance.
		This same organization defines information security as "the result of any system of policies and procedures for identifying, controlling, and protecting unauthorized (accidental or intentional) disclosure, modification, or destruction of information or denial of service." As you will see, most of the non-technical staff equates information assurance to information security.
		This has been a large growth area in information assurance, and many resources are applied daily to make sure these problems do not affect both the reliability of our communication devices and the timely delivery of information.

	Information assurance powwow
		Information Assurance (IA) is a technique used by large organizations such as the military to deal with the large volumes of information.
		When an organization is so large that information becomes another fungible commodity for it to use, it wants and needs assurance that the information it feeds on is accurate and untainted.
		Spafford, the Director of the Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security at Purdue University, was one of the Internet's architects, referees, and early adopters (see Resources).

		Arudius is an information assurance (IA) Linux live CD with tools for penetration testing and vulnerability analysis.
		However, it seems that the mainstream public identifies informaion assurance primarily with securing network-enabled systems, so we decided to go with the mainstream and call Arudius a tool for information assurance.
		The CD will also include in the near future other tools for information assurance developed by the creator of this distro, mainly network sniffers for IM and P2P a pplications and possibly an open source web content filtering system.
