Today, software security is an issue with increasing importance. Developers, software designers, end users, and enterprises have their own needs w.r.t. software security. Therefore, when designing software, security should be built in from the beginning, for example, by using security patterns. Utilizing security patterns already improves the security of software in early software development s...

Security is a serious problem in software development which when not taken into consideration, exploits vulnerabilities in software. Such security related problems need to be addressed as early as possible while building software. Security problems exist for many reasons. A major thing is that, software cannot resist security attacks. Software security vulnerabilities are often caused due to th...

The market of security software solutions for smartphones has grown considerably in the last years. A wide range of products is available. The objective of our paper is to develop an overview of security software solutions for smartphones. At first we identify typical threats and security measures for smartphones. Then we explore current security software solutions and describe how these can be...

Software security is an important quality. The software security testing is one of the most important kinds of the software testing. How to test the software security, and especially to automatically generate security test cases are major problems. An improved method of the test data generation based on Genetic Algorithm is put forwarded. A software security test algorithm is developed. The alg...

Software security has become an increasingly important issue for information and software system. Secure vulnerabilities of software system may cause a company out of business and even destroy the social normal operation. How to improve software security becomes a critical issue in software development process. In this paper, utilizing the static program analyzer and dynamic simulation analyzer...

code reuse attacks such as return oriented programming and jump oriented programming become the most popular exploitation methods among attackers. a large number of practical and non-practical defenses have been proposed that differ in their overhead, the source code requirement, detection rate and implementation dependencies. however, a usual aspect among them is to consider the common behavio...
