Attack Potential based method is supported by the ISO/IEC 18045 standard.

Creating an Attack Potential Based Attack Path

To create an Attack Potential Based Attack Path 

1. In the Containment tree, right-click Attack Paths and Feasibility Ratings and select Create Element.
   
   
   
   
2. Do one of the following:
   • In the dialog, expand ISO 21434 and select Attack Potential Based Attack Path.
     
     
     
     
   • In the search tab, type the keyword attack and then select Attack Potential Based Attack Path.
     
     
     
     
3. Name the created Attack Potential Based Attack Path in the Containment tree and press Enter. The Attack Potential Based Attack Path has the prefix AP, which denotes that the created element is an an Attack Path (Manual or Potential-Based); the number 1 indicates that it is the first Attack Path (Manual or Potential-Based) created.

Adding an Attack Potential Based Attack Path to the Attack Potential Based Attack Path Table

Adding a new or existing Attack Potential Based Attack Path to the Attack Potential Based Attack Path Table is the same as adding a new or existing Manual Attack Path to the Manual Attack Path Table. To learn more about adding a Manual Attack Path to the Manual Attack Path Table, refer to Manual Attack Path.

Adding Attack Path Steps

Attack path steps in an Attack Based Potential Attack Path table are added in the same as they are added in a Simple Attack Path table. To learn more about adding attack path steps in a Simple Attack Path table, refer to Manual Attack Path.
