    Author : Stefan Lindskog; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; network security; quality of service QoS ; tunable security; dependability; security service; data protection; security evaluation; Datavetenskap; Computer Science;

    Abstract : Security has traditionally been thought of as a system or network attribute that was the result of the joint endeavors of the designer, maintainer and user, among others. Even though security can never reach a level of 100%, the aim has been to provide as much security as possible, given the boundary conditions in question. With the advent of, e.g. READ MORE

  4. 2. Some Problems in Quantified Security

    Author : Vilhelm Verendel; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; computer security; quantified risk; quantified security; risk behavior; operational risk; security metrics; information security; survey; quantitative models; decision-making; risk perception;

    Abstract : This thesis contains work related to quantitative representation and analysis of computer and information security. The ability to accurately describe security using quantitative methods could offer better control and evaluation of security in operational settings. READ MORE

    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; computers; dependability; vulnerabilities; tiger teams; taxonomy; operational security; analysis; security; terminology;

    Abstract : The first part of this thesis describes the results of applying dependability methods to the security area. A uniform taxonomy for security, expected to contain all characteristic attributes, is presented. This taxonomy will hopefully increase the understanding of security issues. READ MORE
