On the Relationship between Software Complexity and Security

Understand

This work aims at discussing the complexity aspect of software while demonstrating its relationship with security.

• Complexity is an essential part of software; however, numerous studies indicate that they increase the vulnerability of the software systems and introduce bugs in the program.
• Many developers face difficulty when trying to understand the complex components of software.
• Complexity in software increases when objects in the software are used to design a more complex object while creating a hierarchical complexity in the system.
