Short description
The term Trustworthy Computing (TWC) has been applied to computing systems that are inherently secure, available, and reliable. The author takes an index-based quantitative approach to the subject as opposed to the usual verbal or qualitative or subjective case histories. Thus, the book is objective and data driven. The TWC-Solver, available on an accompanying CD-ROM, contains 10 java-coded, main applications and hundreds of subitems, and assists the reader in understanding the numerical implementations of the book chapters.
