Abstract
In representative embodiments, a system and method to calculate a security reliance score is illustrated. The security reliance score is calculated from an aggregation of property sub-scores. The property sub-scores are, in turn, based on scores for attributes that make up the properties. A learning model is employed to adjust scores over time based on collected information. Additionally, statistical sampling can adjust scores based on context, including geo-location context. Security reliance scores can be used to identify weaknesses that should be fixed in cryptographic material and/or configurations. The system can also make recommendations for changes that will have the biggest impact on security reliance scores. Additional uses are also identified.
