Developing tools and analyze methods for realizing secure deployment of software patches

This project will develop tools and analyze methods for realizing secure deployment of software patches. There are several aspects that needs to be considered when updating software. First, how critical is the update? Does it have to be deployed immediately due to a critical security vulnerability? How do we even assess the criticality of vulnerabilities? Exploitability will depend on many different parameters, such as access media, configuration and environment. We aim to address these issues in this project.
