On Estimating the Security Risks of Composite Software Services

Overview With the rapid adoption of the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), sophisticated software systems are increasingly built by composing coarse-grained service components offered by different organizations through standard web service interfaces. The ability to quantify end-to-end security risks of composite software services is extremely valuable to businesses that increasingly rely on web applications to interact with their customers and partners. This paper proposes a framework that predicts the probability of end-to-end security breaches of a software service by using a combination of three models: a software security model, a service composition model, and a hacking exposure model.
