Security by Design and Conformity
Security by Design and Conformity
Current software engineering approaches lack systematic support for security. This project aims to asure a software system's security level by checking it's conformance with the intended security architecture. A security architecture comprises of elements, dependencies and constraints for them. Thus, it defines architectural constriants for security. Then, the actual implementation's conformance with these constraints can be checked and violations that may cause vulnerabilities and weaknesses can be identified.
