Abstract
Information assurance protects against a violation of information and its technologies that construct, operate and control information infrastructures, and assure the reliability and the availability of those. One of the efforts for information assurance is to build model of each computer and network system and perform the simulation to evaluate various threats to that model so that the vulnerability is estimated and optimal security policy can be generated. We argue about the need and difficulties of simulation in information assurance and suggest information assurance method using DEVS formalism, hierarchical & modular modeling and simulation environment, to solve the difficulties. The application and validity of suggested methodology will be proven through the vulnerability analysis method based on simulation and SECUSIM, which is a tool of training cyber-attack.
