Abstract
Security requirements for a task, system or network may permit the selection of a range of underlying services or security behaviors. When a range of services is available, variant security is possible. Variant security permits the notion of Quality of Security Service (QoSS) to be introduced. This paper describes a quality of security service demonstration, specifically with respect to costing. We describe the network as having three modes: normal, impacted, and emergency. For each of these modes, the user is given three possible security levels: low, medium and high. A variety of security services contribute to the overall security of each task. Each service has two costs: an initialization cost and a run-time cost. The demonstration illustrates the costs incurred as network modes and security levels are changed. High level and detailed specifications are provided.
