Perhaps you are native of a latin language?
In the context of ISO26262, ASIL levels relate to the criticality of _safety_ not security.
My house's security will determine how easily someone can break in.
My house's safety will determine how well it will survive a hurricane.
- weinzierl 3y agoOh yes, you are right, in my mother tongue safety and security are the same word. It is still embarrassing, I should have been more careful.
- lbschenkel 3y agoPortuguese doesn't distinguish between those either: both are "segurança".
- chromatin 3y agoWait -- I find this fascinating. They are also kind-of the same word(s) in German (Sicherheit / Sicherung). Do native German speakers draw much distinction between Sicherheit and Sicherung, and to the same degree that we do in English? If no, I am curious how the differentiation in concepts developed in English developed and whether it is also present in other Germanic languages.
- Megranium 3y agoHmm in German you could also say "Betriebssicherheit" (safety) vs. "Angriffssicherheit" (security), or at least that always was the translation that made most sense to me personally. I'd say native speakers of German distinguish it but it depends on the context ... talking about computers, it's typically more about security, while when talking about construction sites, it's typically more about safety.
- M3t0r 3y agoBut they are both "Sicherheit" since in compound words the main word is the last word. You could say "Ist dein Haus sicher?" and mean "is your house secure" if a burglar is targeting your neighbourhood or "is your house safe" if a storm is passing over it. You can distinguish both cases with context or compound words, but it's not generally done.
- weinzierl 3y agoAs native German speaker I would like to second that. It's a very good description.
- bGl2YW5j 3y agoIt's not embarrassing at all! I wouldn't have realised had the person not pointed it out. At least you've learnt something interesting.
