HARD PROBLEM(S) ADDRESSED

  • Scalability and composability: Isolating conguration options or controlling their interactions will lead us toward composable analysis with regard to conguration options.
  • Predictive security metrics: To what degree can conguration-related indicate implementations that are more prone to vulnerabilities or in which vulnerabilities have more severe consequences?
