Talk:Air gap (computing)

Definition

There may be some variation in the usage of this term. Some people seem to use the term to refer to a separation where there is no real-time logical connection at all, for example http://www.freepatentsonline.com/70182983.html explicitly takes this approach, and that's what this article says at present too. On the other extreme some merely mean there's no direct electrical connection, see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Boeing_787&oldid=240235176 for an example of this usage... and note that this article currently cites the 787 as an example of air gap isolation.

First, we badly need some citations to justify our definition. Then we need to tighten up our usage of the term to be consistent to this, and note if some sources (perhaps those with aircraft to sell for example) take liberties with the term. Andrewa (talk) 16:06, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Merge proposal

• I strongly agree with the proposal to merge the article with Air gap (networking). This should never have been a separate article - my mistake that I created it. The question is whether to call the merged article "Air gap (computing)" or "Air gap (networking)" - I propose "Air gap (networking)", as an air gap specifically means lack of outside connectivity - as a single non-networked computer is more or less air gapped. I'm going to go ahead and merge in a few days unless somebody objects - it might be messy, as it'll be my first time merging articles. Katana0182 (talk) 06:06, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
