The Research of Simulation for Network Security Based on System Dynamics

Network security is attracting more and more attention. Simulation is a better choice to research the problems of network security because of their high complexity. Based on the purpose and actuality of simulation of network security, this paper puts forward a simulation method of network security using system dynamics. After giving the steps of system dynamics simulation of network security, this paper has simulated the attack of worm using system dynamics. The simulation results indicate system dynamics can describe the processes of worm attack well. The research of system dynamics of network security will extend the methods of simulation of network security.
