Hi list,

Actually, I am trying to measure security (and then security assurance)
level of a complex telecommunication network. I am looking for a
method/approach/product using sets of predefined, standard entities
(station, server, firewall, router, ...) and relations (forming
"patterns" like pipe, cluster, bus, gateway, ..., architectures) which
have already been measured to simplify the process of system security
measurement. An aggregation algorithm is then needed to arrive at an
overall system security value.

Any recommendation of academic or industrial solutions would be welcome.

Other suggestions for solving the problem (security measurement of
complex network) are also greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Nguyen Pham.
