As enterprises increase their electronic communication in business activities through network, the security of enterprise information system based on EC becomes crucial for enterprises. This paper proposes a fuzzy integrated security evaluation method based on man-computer combined data collection and fuzzy expert evaluation in Delphi method. The method could reduce the subjectivity of expert e...

Computer security visualization has gained much attention in the research community in the past few years. However, the advancement in security visualization research has been hampered by the lack of standardization in visualization design, centralized datasets, and evaluation methods. We propose a new heuristic model for evaluating the complexity of computer security visualizations. This compl...
