Currently, security requirements are defined at system levels in software engineering projects as system quality requirements. Later on system engineers must identify such system requirements into software requirements. It will be assigned to system software to conform to security at software and hardware requirements. For instance, a number of security requirements concepts and terms are described by IEEE, ISO and ECSS international standards and explained at different stages of requirements at the system, software and hardware levels. This paper assembles and systematizes these candidate security-related descriptions into a requirements model for the specification of software functional user requirements assigned from additional system security non-functional requirements. These models structure is made using the ISO-19761 international standard model of software requirements, which accept the new model to measure the functional size of software functionality and non-functionality of security systems.
