A approach to research on the attack mechanism designs through attack surface technology due to the complexity of the attack mechanism. The attack mechanism of a mimic architecture is analyzed in a relative way using attack surface metrics to indicate whether mimic architectures are safer than non-mimic architectures. The definition of the architectures attack surface in terms of the mimic brackets along three abstract dimensions referenced the system attack surface. The larger the attack surface, the more likely the architecture will be attacked.
