Deriving metrics for software architectures from the "protected entry points" security patterns
Monica Buitrago, Isabelle Borne, Jérémy Buisson · 2023
Deciding, as early as the software architecture is designed, whether the resulting system will be secure is challenging. We propose three metrics inspired by a security-related design pattern in the structural architecture model, the "protected entry points" pattern. We evaluate these metrics on the real-life Bitwarden web client and server, as well as a synthetic system.
