Fault-tolerant techniques and security mechanisms for model-based performance prediction of critical systems
Ricardo J. Rodríguez, Catia Trubiani, José Merseguer · 2012
Security attacks aim to system vulnerabilities that may lead to operational failures. In order to react to attacks software designers use to introduce Fault-Tolerant Techniques (FTTs), such as recovery procedures, and/or Security Mechanisms (SMs), such as encryption of data. FTTs and SMs inevitably consume system resources, hence they influence the system performance, even affecting its full operability.
