Specification of Security Requirements for Business Collaborations
Bart Orriëns · 2006
Service-oriented computing (SOC) is the computing paradigm that utilizes services as fundamental elements for developing business collaborations. In order to realize this vision security is a critical issue that must be addressed. Current work in this area is low level in nature without any connection to high level security requirements. In this report we present a layered specification of security properties for business collaboration. The approach supports specification of high level security objectives, the mechanisms to achieve those, and the measures needed to implement these mechanisms. Moreover, dependencies among objectives, mechanisms and measures are made explicit as such creating a traceable path from objectives to measures.
