Solution-aware data flow diagrams for security threat modeling
Laurens Sion, Koen Yskout, Dimitri Van Landuyt, Wouter Joosen · 2018
Threat modeling refers to a number of systematic approaches for eliciting security and privacy threats. Data Flow Diagrams (DFDs) are the main input for threat modeling techniques such as Microsoft STRIDE or LINDDUN. They represent system-level abstractions that lack any architectural knowledge on existing security solutions.
