Towards a library of composable models to estimate the performance of security solutions
Vittorio Cortellessa, Catia Trubiani · 2008
Complex distributed dependable systems, such as web-based applications that contain sensitive data and are exposed to many users, have to meet different, and sometimes conflicting, non functional requirements, such as security and performance requirements. A typical example of this trade-off is the performance degradation introduced in a system by the raising of security solutions. Several proposals have been made to estimate the performance of security methodologies, but they are often grounded to existing standards such as IPsec and SSL.
