摘要：As much as the expansion of use of Information Technology (IT) in various processes in increasing the question of security is striking the mind time and again. Today we see various new applications of ICT are appearing day by day. Also the cases of security breaching are also on rise. We see in the daily newspapers about the terms like hacking/security breaching very common words. The concept of Computer Security is being heavily researched and this perfectly makes sense in a world where e-commerce and e-governance are becoming the norms of the day. Along with their potential for making life easier and smarter for people, these systems also carry with them the danger of insecurity. But security till date is taken as a qualitative measure. We can understand a subject complete and thoroughly through measurement. For measuring security we need certain metrics to say whether a particular system is secure or not. An effort has been made here to utilise certain available security metrics in the implementation of EGovernance services in India. In this paper a survey of various security metrics proposed in literature for information security and systems has been presented. Although the number of metrics are many but a few of these concentrating on security systems have been taken into account.
