Talk:Separation of protection and security

Deletion of this Article?
I suggest we delete this article. It appears no one can explain what this means. John (talk) 17:56, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, please do. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.168.138.50 (talk) 21:22, 14 October 2016 (UTC)
 * "I don't understand it" is not a reason for deletion. - Sum mer PhD v2.0 01:25, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
 * No, but "nobody can understand it" might be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.168.138.50 (talk) 21:01, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

Limitations
This article needs to acknowledge the limitations of expecting trusted application-level enforcement of certain policies (e.g. those modeled by partially-ordered lattices) with mechanisms that ensure only separation. John 21:09, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Clarity
Many sentences are vague, but starting with the first sentence:

It is not clear how or if architectures adopt distinctions.

"Usually means" is very ad-hoc qualifier, can we articulate what this means with precision? (Some or all) protection (from what?) is provided by fault tolerance... Does this refer to protection from faults? Both fault tolerance mechanisms and security policies can be implemented or enforced with OS or HW.

Is the intended distinction clear enough?

Some of the things cited subsequently as policies are not obviously policies.

If we can't make this article say something, we need to consider deleting it.

Can this stuff be illustrated with examples, like with cows?
If cows can be used to explain communism and capitalism, why not separation of protection and security? Anyway, I think that some clarifying examples are in order. 76.24.104.52 (talk) 15:30, 7 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you have a reliable source explaining the concept with cows? - Sum mer PhD v2.0 01:24, 9 January 2017 (UTC)
 * More importanally, can cows be used to explain cows, preferably to the cows themselves? Now there's a mindbender. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.168.78.24 (talk) 09:04, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
