Abstract

The security of network applications is more important in Internet days. A kind of randomized protocol to find out application software security bug is raised. We discuss the security testing method with randomized protocol; put forward an attack-proof theorem which shows a way of computing average number of attack times easily with a Weibull probability map before a software system having concealed bugs becomes invalid. It is also proved a fairly good method to estimate life expectancy of application software on Internet under various random attacks.
