HARD PROBLEM(S) ADDRESSED

Characterization of attack-resiliency of software needs to be done  from its very inception because without such characterization attack resiliency is not properly testable or implementable.

  • Resilient Architectures - vulnerability avoidance, evaluation and tolerance strategies and architectures.
  • Security Metrics and Models - development of metrics and models for static and dynamic assessment of resilience of software.

ACCOMPLISHMENT HIGHLIGHTS

  • We created a taxonomy of existing resiliency metrics and its connection to science of security.
  • We developed resiliency metrics that connect the quality of protection that a system under attack might exhibit due to inherent resiliency properties such as attack resistance, and remediation.
