This paper relates to both security and performance testing of distributed applications working in public-private HTTPS and IPSec environments. It decomposes the application into multidimensional matrix with adequate security and performance metrics for each cell in order to study cross-layer (vertical and horizontal) relations between them. Analysis is supported by experiments that study correlations between user interaction latency and endpoint authentication, data processing throughput and communication security.
