Understanding Database Security Metrics: A Review

Abstract

The ever increasing demand for high software reliability requires more robust techniques for software quality and security level prediction. Databases are the core of Information Systems (IS), it is therefore necessary to ensure that the quality of the databases in order to ensure the quality of the IS. Recently, it has been a challenge to determine on what is a good database model or design. Therefore, in our discussion we have considered measuring specific features and factors in a particular database implementation. The variant features and characteristics inherent to a particular database serve to come up with a metric of assessment.
