sizeofSECURITYs
sizeofSECURITYs is a proposed metric used in software architecture and security engineering to quantify the resource footprint attributable to security mechanisms within a software system. It is not a standard function in programming languages, but rather a metric or model used in design documents and toolchains to compare security configurations.
Calculation and components: The metric aims to measure the memory, storage, and runtime overhead consumed by
Applications: sizeofSECURITYs is used in performance budgeting, capacity planning, and risk assessment to balance security and
Limitations and critiques: The metric lacks standard definition and depends on workload and platform; results can
