Aspects of Command and Control System Vulnerability Analysis

Abstract

This report describes several different approaches to Command and Control System vulnerability analysis. The focus is on practical heuristics that can be used without a significant loss of accuracy. Topics covered are qualitative criticality evaluation of C2 nodes, identification of degradation sources, and dependability evaluation of digital C2 support systems. The use of the possibility measure for data with higher-order uncertainty forms is discussed, and dependability results using the possibility measure are contrasted with those of probabilistic methods.
