It takes into consideration a variation of system and component parameters and, in particular, variation of failure rates caused by detection and elimination of design faults. }, year = {2012}, journal = {Information & Security: An International Journal}, volume = {28}, number = {20}, pages = {248-265}, month = {2012}, doi = {http://dx.doi.org/10.11610/isij.2820}, language = {eng}, }
