Guoyu Wang · Journal of China Institute of Communications · 2004
An attack effect evaluation model of computer network based on network entropy was proposed in this paper. The paper put forward the concept of network entropy from the point of view of the security characteristic change of computer network after it was attacked. The calculation technique of network entropy difference was analyzed in detail by analytical hierarchy process (AHP) with the beginning of the choice and simplification of proper network security index set. The implementation idea of the attack effect evaluation system based on network entropy and the corresponding model verification method were presented as well. The elementary test and calculation results show that the model can be in all reason utilized to measure the actual network attack effect.
