Confidence Measures Analysis of Software Security Evaluation
Zhengping Ren, Song Huang, Yi Yong Yao, Hong Yu · Procedia Engineering · 2011
Security evaluation technologies are important to software developers and users, especially in security-critical systems. However, there is very lack of effective method to acquire confidence measures of software security evaluation supported by mathematical theories. In this paper, the dependability in security evaluation conclusion was studied, and confidence measures of software security evaluation were modeled from parametric estimation angle based on practical experiences and statistics theory. Furthermore, a confidence measures analysis method towards evaluation conclusion of specific values was presented based on Bayes analysis to solve confidence measure acquiring problem.
