✦ Synopsis

The academic literature concerning fault tree analysis relates almost entirely to the design and development of safety-critical systems. This paper illustrates how similar techniques can be applied to the design and analysis of security-critical systems. The application of this technique is illustrated in an example inspired by a current public-key cryptosystem.
