Abstract: Software components are imperative parts
of a system which play a fundamental role in the overall function of a system.
A component is said to be secure if it has a towering scope of security. Security
is a shield for unauthorized use as unauthorized users may informally access
and modify components within a system. Such accessing and modifications
ultimately affect the functionality and efficiency of a system. With an
increase in software development activities security of software components is
becoming an important issue. In this study, a fuzzy logic based model is
presented to handle ISO/IEC 18028-2 security attributes for component security
evaluation. For this purpose an eight input, single output model based on the
Mamdani fuzzy inference system has been proposed. This component security
evaluation model helps software engineers during component selection in conditions
of uncertainty and ambiguity.
Keywords: Software component,
component security, fuzzy logic.
