Security testing is testing of the security policies of the software.

The access policies, procedures and privileges of a user may change depending on its user type. Users may have different privileges on a client machine or on a server machine or on different network machine connectivity.

I think,
Form Based security testing is testing of security levels on a standalone application, Server Based is on a client-server application and Network Based is on a web application.

I was never a part of security testing. It is best tested by the developers or the designers of the security system.
