The assurance provided by any ... security services ... can be ascertained by determining the strength and correctness of the mechanism that provides the service. For physical, administrative, and procedural mechanisms, the assurance level is determined by reviewing the processes that are implemented. For electronic mechanisms, empirical or exhaustive techniques are generally used...
