LAVA (the Los Alamos Vulnerability/Risk Assessment system) is a three-part systematic approach to vulnerability and risk assessment that can be used to model a variety of application systems such as physical or operational security systems, communications security systems, information security systems, and others. Using LAVA, we build knowledge-based expert systems to assess risks in application systems comprising a subject system and a safeguards system. The methodology provides a framework for creating a variety of applications systems upon which the general software engine operates. All application-specific information is supplied as data and requires no code changes in the general software engine. This paper discusses the ingredients for creating a LAVA application system. 14 refs.
