{{Historical|comment=This WikiProject has been '''superseded by [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer Security|WikiProject Computer Security]]''' ([[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Computing/Computer and Information Security task force#Merge with WikiProject Malware to form WikiProject Computer Security|discussion]]).}}

Welcome to the '''Computer and Information Security task force''' of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing|WikiProject Computing]].

==Scope==
The '''Computer and Information Security task force''' exists to centralize efforts to improve Wikipedia's coverage of related matters, to include:
* Topics and Terminology ([[information security]], [[firewall]], [[hacker (computer security)]], etc.)
* Events, outages, and notable virus/worm outbreaks ([[Morris Worm]], etc.)
* Practitioners ([[Dan Geer]], [[Marcus J. Ranum]], etc.)

==Participants==
'''NOTICE!'''

Thank You for your interest in WikiProject Computing/Computer and Information Security task force ! Please be aware, that this WikiProject is now under the imperium of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Computer_Security|WikiProject Computer Security]]. All Malware articles are currently being transferred over to the new project. In any case, we welcome you to join us at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Computer_Security|WikiProject Computer Security]]!

==Guidelines==

===Tagging and assessment===
Any articles that are within the scope of this project should be tagged with the project banners of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing|WikiProject Computing]]{{#if:  |, [[Wikipedia:|Wikipedia:]]}}{{#if:  |, [[Wikipedia:|Wikipedia:]]}}{{#if:  | and [[Wikipedia:|Wikipedia:]]}}.  You may also find {{tl|WikiProjectBanners}} useful.  To each of these banners, you should add <code>|security=yes</code> as this will automatically put the page in the appropriate categories., such as [[:Category:Computer and Information Security articles]].

=== Categories ===

<!-- Add things here! -->

=== Templates ===
{{main|Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing/Templates}}

====Userbox template====
* {{tl|Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing/Outreach/User Computer and Information Security task force}}
{{Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing/Outreach/User Computer and Information Security task force}}<br><br><br>

====Infobox template====

* {{tl|Computer hacking}}
* {{tl|Computer security}}

==Assessment==
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">
{{WikiProject Computing|class=|importance=|security=yes|security-importance=}}
</syntaxhighlight>
Anyone can assess articles (regardless of membership to the WikiProject) by adding or editing the <code>class</code> and <code>security-importance</code> parameters to the {{tl|WikiProject Computing}} template. The template is found on talk pages.

===Project Articles===
{{Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Computer and Information Security articles by quality statistics}}

=== Quality scale ===
The quality scale is the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Computing/Assessment#Grades|WikiProject computing scale]].

The [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment/B-Class criteria|B-Class criteria]] are: (1) referenced; (2) coverage; (3) structure; (4) grammar; (5) supporting materials; (6) accessible language.

=== Importance scale ===
{| class="wikitable"
! Importance
! Criteria
! Examples
|-
| {{Top-importance|category=Category:Top-importance Computer and Information Security articles}}
| Core articles which are a "must have" for the Computer and Information Security Task Force.<br />High-traffic articles which many people outside of computer security will already have a good knowledge of.
| [[Computer security]], [[Computer insecurity]], [[Firewall]], [[Malware]]
|-
| {{High-importance|category=Category:High-importance Computer and Information Security articles}}
| Most people interested in computer security will be familiar with the topic, and the article gives context to a number of other information security articles. Is mentioned by many books and academic papers, and discussed in detail in more than one.
| [[Port scanner]], [[Bruce Schneier]]
|-
| {{Mid-importance|category=Category:Mid-importance Computer and Information Security articles}}
| Known to many people interested in computer security, even if not in detail.
| [[Chaos Computer Club]], [[Snort (software)]], [[Morris worm]]
|-
| {{Low-importance|category=Category:Low-importance Computer and Information Security articles}}
| More specific and specialized content known only to some people interested in computer security.<br />Most individuals, standards and software projects will be low importance unless they are well known or have high adoption.
