Abstract

We propose the use of discrete event system specification (DEVS) in the transient time analysis of network security survivability. By doing the analysis with the time element, it is possible to predict the exact behaviors of attacked system with respect to time. In this work, we create a conceptual model with DEVS and simulate based on time and state variables change when events occur. Our purpose is to illustrate the unknown attacks' features where a variety of discrete events with various attacks occur at diverse times. Subsequently, the response methods would be performed more precisely and this is a way to increase the survivability level in the target environment. It can also be used to predict the survivability attributes of complex systems while they are under development and preventing costly vulnerabilities before the system is built.
