Abstract

Specification-based organization of security of complex technical systems based on an assignment of margins for the main ways of reaching limit states is considered. We present a computational approach to the organization of security based on risk management and assuming a successive reduction of threats that the technical system is exposed to, and vulnerability towards active threats and damage in the case of failures in complex technical systems.
