“…Reference [12] verifies a general lack of uniqueness of software by a study of uniqueness of source code. Although it is easy to achieve a large number of diversified configurations with the method of randomization or reconfiguration of parameters [13], [14], it has a limited applying range because most configurations are related to the performance and may not be changed arbitrarily. Thirdly, there is a lack of objective and unified standards for the assessment of diversified systems, which hinders the evaluation of the defense ability, performance and cost of different diversified systems.…”

Software diversity can be utilized in cyberspace security to defend against the zero-day attacks. Existing researches have proved the effectiveness of diversity in bringing security benefits, but few of them touch the problem that whether there is a positive correlation between the security and the diversity. In addition, there is little guidance on how to construct an effective diversified system. For that, this paper develops two diversity metrics based on system attribute matrix, proposes a diversity measurement and verifies the effectiveness of the measurement. Through several simulations on the diversified systems which use voting strategy, the relationship between diversity and security is analyzed. The results show that there is an overall positive correlation between security and diversity. Though some cases are against the correlation, further analysis is made to explain the phenomenon. In addition, the effect of voting strategy is also discussed through simulations. The results show that the voting strategy have a dominant impact on the security, which implies that security benefits can be obtained only with proper strategies. According to the conclusions, some guidance is provided in constructing a more diversified as well as securer system.
