I've been racking my brain out on this for 2 weeks now and I haven't had any decent luck finding something that meets those criteria all at the same time, other than (IMO) Aplsec ;)
Most things like Fortress, or Lockdown or Guardian, etc - that I agree would be better candidates - that also all meet points a) and b) have had existing references of projects/products and/or trademarks for a long time :/ I'm not saying Aplsec is the ultimate ideal solution - I just think it is the best, given already-defined restrictions and English word association :/ Any other ideas for names?
