Introduction
There are many competing definitions for the word “security”, even in the restricted context of computerized systems. We prefer a very broad definition, saying that a system is secureif its owner ever estimated its probable losses from adverse events, such as eavesdropping.We say that a system issecuredif its
owner modified it, with the intent of reducing the expected frequency or severity of adverse events. These definitions are in common use but are easily misinterpreted. An unsupported assertion that a system is secure, or that it has been secured, does not reveal anything about its likely behavior. Details of the estimate of losses and evidence that this estimate is accurate are necessary for a meaningful assurance that a system is safe to use. One form of assurance is a security proof , which is a logical argument demonstrating that a system can suffer no losses from a specific range of adverse events if the system is operating in accordance with the assumptions (axioms) of the argument. continue reading…
