interesting....

any thoughts by anyone if a hard cover dictionary would actually help on some questions?

Curious if Elsevier's dictionary of information security would fly. It translates language and is a standard hardbound dictionary. For instance you can look up words like ITIL and get the definition and what it is for or does. Here is a description:

The dictionary will contain terms currently used in the broad fields of electronics data protection and data management in today's interconnected world - the Global Village. The terminology will cover all aspects of the modern technology's best practices in multiple subfields, namely: physical (hardware and perimeter) security, wired and wireless

Expensive dictionary but I cannot believe they would let this one in

Elsevier's dictionary of information security

anyone know which ones specifically would be permitted?

Is it a paper (not electronic) translation dictionary? If so: yes. Otherwise, no.

It is unlikely that Elsevier's Dictionary of Information Security would qualify, since it provides definitions of terms along with the translations. If you want to use it, I'd suggest getting written confirmation from (ISC)2 so there are not problems at the testing centre.

Using a 9 years old technical dictionary will be a bad idea even if it was allowed, many words (or acronyms) that we use today did not exist back then, using it will be a waste of time.

Yes but only language translator dictionary is allowed ( like English to french ,etc) unlike the oxford dictionary.
