Object Oriented Design Security Quantification

Abstract

Quantification of security at early phase produces a significant improvement to understand the management of security artifacts for best possible results. The proposed study discusses a systematic approach to quantify security based on complexity factors which having impact on security attributes. This paper provides a road-map to researchers and software practitioner to assess, and preferably, quantify software security in design phase. A security assessment through complexity framework (SVDF) has been proposed in order to incorporate security to develop quality products. It may be used to benchmark software products according to their severity.
