Software security at early stages of software lifecycle

Abstract

The constantly increasing number of attacks based on software vulnerabilities had as a consequence that the new area of software security got high importance for everybody involved in information systems security. Moreover, it became clear that there is a need to include security at the earliest stages of the software lifecycle possible. In order to introduce security at the design phase security patterns have been proposed. In the present thesis a qualitative analysis of security patterns based on guiding principles related to software security, software holes and categories of attacks. Additionally, a fuzzy risk analysis methodology is proposed in order to compute the risk of an object oriented design. Finally, a methodology to automatically move from requirements including misuse cases to object oriented UML (Unified Modeling Language) designs evaluated for risk and required development effort is studied.
