Panel Abstract: Intrusion Scenarios for Security Requirements Engineering

Engineers have long relied on public feedback of engineering failures to improve their designs. Consider the result if bridge builders had ignored the lessons learned from the torsional oscillations that caused the Tacoma Narrows Bridge to collapse. Consider the result if ship builders had ignored the lessons learned from the inadequate lifeboat space and manning that allowed the great loss of life from the sinking of the Titanic. Engineering success requires that we learn from the less famous disasters as well. The flying community, for example, has institutionalized a means for learning from air traffic accidents that has resulted in very low risk of death due to air travel, despite its inherent hazards.
