Secure and Usable Requirements Engineering
Jose Romero-Mariona · 2009
Software security is an increasingly important aspect of computing; however, it is still addressed as an after thought in too many development efforts. While a variety of approaches have been proposed for security requirements engineering, we find many still lacking with respect to their usability. In this proposal I describe my work in the area of security requirements engineering. SURE, Secure and Usable Requirements Engineering, is a new approach that supports non-security experts in order to specify security requirements from which testing artifacts can be derived. In addition, ASSURE, Automated Support for Secure and Usable Requirements Engineering, a system that implements the SURE technique is presented.
