Software security, privacy, and dependability: metrics and measurementSoftware security, privacy, and dependability: metrics and measurement Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2018-10-092016enMeasurement of software security is an ongoing research field. Privacy is also becoming an imperative target as social networking and ubiquitous computing evolve and users exchange high volumes of personal information. However, security and privacy alone don't guarantee proper data protection; software must also be dependable. Several standards typify the main concepts and protection mechanisms for these three properties, and measurement methodologies can quantify the provided protection level. However, security, privacy, and dependability are usually dealt with in isolation. To solve this problem, researchers have proposed a practical, easy-to-use methodology that measures a software system's overall security, privacy, and dependability (SPD) on the basis of the standards for each property. The nSHIELD (New Embedded Systems Architecture for Multi-layer Dependable Solutions) project is applying the SPD methodology to evaluate configurable embedded software in a social-mobility scenario.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/IEEE Software33446-54 Chatzivasilis Georgios Χατζηβασιλης Γεωργιος Papaefstathiou Ioannis Παπαευσταθιου Ιωαννης Manifavas Charalabos Μανιφαβας Χαραλαμπος Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Measurement Metrics nSHIELD Privacy Risk management Security Software dependability Software development Software engineering Software quality assurance Software reliability Verification and validation
