Mozilla Foundation developing a model for a security metric (heise online)
[Posted July 7, 2008 by jake]
An
article at heise online describes Mozilla's new
security metrics project, which is an attempt to measure the relative security of Firefox. "
One of the main factors cited is how long Firefox users are exposed to a threat while a hole remains unpatched. The developers say they want to use the security metric derived from the results to identify any problematic stage in the development and patch process."
