ENHANCING UML WITH SECURITY
Scientific Bulletin of Naval Academy · 2016
Unified Modeling Language (UML) is very used in different companies and industries where the process of software analysis plays an important role.Still, the UML has different lacks, such as formal, explicit, support for access control.The security represents an important issue over which we have to stop when designing the access control into the application.In this paper we will discuss about a new approach for expressing security-relevant information that can be mapped in the UML diagrams, such as sequence diagrams, class diagrams and state diagrams.New diagrams that already have been proposed will be shown and presented in a practical manner, such role-based, discretionary and mandatory access controls.The intent of the paper is to give the designers with a set of security and integrity features.Only the necessary features are selected for the application that is designed and furthermore implemented.
