Security modeling of electronic commerce infrastructures
Vassilis Zorkadis, D.A. Karras · 2002
In this paper, we develop models for analyzing the security-related behavior of computer systems and networks comprising electronic commerce infrastructures. The models allow the estimation of critical security parameters of the infrastructure components and the evaluation of security mechanisms. The security parameter estimation and the mechanism evaluation may support the risk analysis and the decision making process in resolving the trade-offs between security and quality characteristics of the electronic commerce services provided by the complex computing and communication infrastructures.
