Assessing the Effect of Software Failures on Trust Assumptions

The contribution of this paper is a technique to assess whether software failures during operational use can invalidate the trust assumptions and, hence, the adequacy of the software security. Use of the technique identified four security-related software requirements for making the system more robust to denial-of-service attacks.
