Eight Ingredients of Communications Infrastructure: A Systematic and Comprehensive Framework for Enhancing Network Reliability and Security

摘要

Controlled improvement in the reliability and security of any system requires a comprehensive analysis. This requires the systematic identification of the fundamental underlying components of the system using a rigorous discipline. If successful, this process will illuminate areas for concern and identify areas for potential system enhancements. Such comprehensive analysis can be conducted for communications infrastructure using a framework of eight ingredients. This paper will explore these eight ingredients and identify their usage in vulnerability analysis and best practice identification for enhancing the reliability and security of communications infrastructure.
