Full Title or Meme

A Trusted Digital Facility is a fenced structure that is designed and built for a particular purpose and can be isolated for evaluation of the Security and Reliability of the structure as a whole.

Context

Consider the Star-ship Enterprise that is isolated in space and equipped with its own Artificial Intelligence that can operate in isolation from other digital facilities. This is one of many Science-fiction stories that predicted the problems that might come with powerful computer systems. The following scenario is lifted from "A Deepness in the Sky", a science fiction novel by American writer Vernor Vinge published in 1999.[1]
