Mapping of McGraw Cycle to RUP Methodology for Secure Software Developing

Designing a secure software is one of the major phases in developing a robust software. The McGraw life cycle, as one of the well-known software security development approaches, implements different touch points as a collection of software security practices. Each touch point includes explicit instructions for applying security in terms of design, coding, measurement, and maintenance of softwar...

A Comparative Overview of the Most Common Methodologies for Secure Software Development

Security is a property of an entire system in context. Rather than a software product; so a thorough understanding of system security risk analysis is necessary in the entire software life cycle for a successful project. This aspect is strongly related to costs, risks and reputation of an organization. Focus on security in the software development life cycle can be divided into two distinct cat...

On the Horizon

Worse, more complex problems such as race conditions and subtle design errors wait in the wings for the buffer overflow’s demise. Software security problems will be with us for years, and hackers will continue to exploit systems via software defects. Clearly, a central and critical aspect of the computer security problem resides in software. Software security—the idea of engineering software th...

A Review of Approaches to Model Security into Software Systems

Software security has a huge impact on almost all areas ranging from banking systems to critical systems. The rapid expansion of internet and distributed systems has forced developers, designers, engineers and manager to consider software security as an essential activity for their systems. Software security does not depend on the external measures such as firewalls but also on the internal sec...
