security evaluation
security evaluation The examination of a system to determine its degree of compliance with a stated security model, security standard, or specification. The evaluation may be conducted (a) by analyzing the detailed design, especially of the software, often using verification and validation, (b) by observing the functional behavior of the system, or (c) by attempting to penetrate the system using techniques available to an “attacker”.
