"From Security to Safety and Back"

The paper attempts to investigate a feasibility of developing new models and methodologies integrating probabilistic and soft computing techniques and applying them to measurement of computer system security. It reviews the methods, which have been developed and applied up to now for this purpose, and analyses their applicability. It concludes that neither of methodologies being applied for measurement of computer security and/or reliability may be considered as comprehensive and good. Summarizing the required features of the measurement models, the paper concludes that new synergetic models and approaches need to be developed.
