....of diversity that is generally and absolutely necessary, as the system designers usually have no other effective defence against platform faults. Its effectiveness cannot be quantified yet: to our knowledge, there has been no empirical study of it; even studies of design faults in microprocessors [Avizienis Yutao 1999] lack statistical data about design caused failures. We have argued before that diversity in the earlier, higher level stage of development is not a sufficient protection against common failures due to hardware design faults, and hardware diversity should not be assumed to guarantee ....

....required product certification and design assurance level. Mechanisms put in place to ensure consistency, convergence and tracking between dissimilar versions must be carefully evaluated for their effect on version independence. Often, generic faults are referred to as residual design errors [Avizienis99]. However, their causes can be found in system life cycle phases other than design. For instance, all hardware components of a particular type can have the same manufacturing flaw (i.e. a bad lot ) The system specification can have deficiencies that equally affect all systems designed in ....

.... For example, the seven processors of the Intel P6 family in April 1999 had from 45 to 101 reported design faults, of which from 30 to 60 have remained uncorrected to the most recent versions ( steppings ) of the processors, and new errata are announced at the rate of about one per month [13]. Maintenance mistakes and other unintentional interaction faults have remained a serious concern, while attacks of various types have been gaining in numbers and in severity, especially by exploiting the weakness of complex COTS operating systems and other COTS software. One more consequence of ....
