I just tried

+security +pain +privacy +authentication +integrity

on alta vista and it claims to have over 1000 results

quick sample ... some of them involve pain of
security or pain of security risks (not all of them
are referring to the acronym)

on google doing

+security +pain +privacy +authentication +integrity +non-repudation

gets 22 screens of 10 entries each
... although some aren't using PAIN as an acronym
