NISTIR 7564, Directions in Security Metrics Research
نویسنده
چکیده
More than 100 years ago, Lord Kelvin insightfully observed that measurement is vital to deep knowledge and understanding in physical science. During the last few decades, researchers have made various attempts to develop measures and systems of measurement for computer security with varying degrees of success. This paper provides an overview of the security metrics area and looks at possible avenues of research that could be pursued to advance the state of the art.

Aligning IT Architecture Analysis and Security Standards for Smart grids
In this paper, an approach using the European Smart Grid Architecture Model (SGAM), in the context of the NISTIR 7628, is presented. Research has shown that both models and methodologies have particular impact, but have not yet been put into mutual context. The combination of these models makes it possible for US smart grid experts to re-use the SGAM model and its benefits, and vice versa Europ...

متن کاملInformation Security Metrics: Research Directions
This paper is largely based on a state of the art report covering the information security (IS) metrics area produced as part of the Controlled Information Security (COINS) research project funded by the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) and the comprehensive literature review conducted while compiling the report. The report's findings are summarized and some of the key issues discovered...
متن کاملICCRTS “ Adapting C 2 to the 21 st Century ” Security Metrics for Communication Systems
This report discusses the possibility of creating meaningful security metrics for communication systems. In particular, we examine security metrics from an axiomatic standpoint and prove that it is not possible to measure trust in an absolute sense. We do not conclude that it is impossible to create a secure communication system; rather we argue that it is impossible to detect the occurrence. W...
