Abstract
A method and apparatus that simulates a workflow and analyzes the behavior of information assurance attributes through a data providence architecture is disclosed. The method may include injecting one or more faults into a simulated workflow, receiving a message in the simulated workflow having a data provenance wrapper, examining each data provenance record of the message and any attachments for discrepancies, identifying any discrepancies in the examination of each data provenance record of the message and any attachments; calculating a degree of trust based on any discrepancies identified in the examination of each data provenance record of the message and any attachments, analyzing the calculated degree of trust with respect to the one or more injected faults and the information assurance attributes, and outputting the analysis to a user.
