Abstract

This work presents a novel methodology for security analysis of computer systems. The suggested approach, called simulated hazard injection, is a variant of simulated fault injection, which has already been employed with success to the design and evaluation of fault-tolerant computer systems. The paper describes the key ideas underlying the proposed methodology, and defines a portfolio of security measures to be extracted from experimental data. These concepts are incorporated in a tool for dependability analysis of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) based systems. The tool is called SECURE and is currently under development at the University of Naples. The paper describes the architecture of the tool and discusses its potentialities.
