Patterns and Security Measurement

[Nguyen Pham <nguyen.petronius () gmail com>]

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.
