I thought it was interesting how close the law maps to CIA [0]:

Confidentiality - disclose (procure - intent to disclose)

Integrity - falsify

Availability - disable

> Article 584 of the Penal Code, which punishes “a Spaniard who, with the purpose of helping a foreign power, association or international organization, procures, falsifies, disables or discloses information classified as reserved or secret, that is likely to harm national security or national defense.”

Not super surprising maybe, information has always been important, but it makes me wonder what the oldest written equivalent of the CIA triad is.

I found some references to Caesar using it [1], but no actual quotes.

Edit: It seems like some of the downvoters think I made up some words that I associate with the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) but I'm referring to the CIA acronym in information security [0]. I can understand the confusion in this context, sorry!

Probably something by Aristotle on what constitutes "trustworthiness". (Just a guess)


What? You just made that up. It doesn't "map" to anything


Haha possibly! It doesn't seem so far-fetched to me but I suppose we have different perspectives.


@lupusreal I've added a comment that might clarify what I meant. Thanks for explaining what didn't make sense to you, despite getting downvoted.
