This document presents a framework for security requirements engineering. It discusses how security requirements are often not properly considered early in the development process. It reviews related work on security requirements engineering, including a previous framework by Haley et al. that defined criteria for adequate security requirements. The proposed framework aims to improve on previous approaches by integrating security requirements elicitation and analysis into the core requirements engineering activities from the start. It then compares the proposed framework to Haley's framework, highlighting differences in how security requirements are handled.
The disconcerting increase in the number of security attacks on software calls for an imminent need for including secure development practices within the software development life cycle. The software security management system has received considerable attention lately and various efforts have been made in this direction. However, security is usually only considered in the early stages of the development of software. Thus, this leads to stating other vulnerabilities from a security perspective. Moreover, despite the abundance of security knowledge available online and in books, the systems that are being developed are seldom sufficiently secure. In this paper, we have highlighted the need for including application context sensitive modeling within a case-based software security management system. Furthermore, we have taken the context-driven and ontology-based frameworks and prioritized their attributes according to their weights which were achieved by using the Fuzzy AHP methodology.
Software reusabilitydevelopment through NFL approach For identifying security...IJECEIAES
In component based software reusability development process, the software developers have to choose the best components which are self adaptive future to overcome the functional errors, framework mismatches, violation of user level privacy issues and data leakage feasibilities. The software developers can build high quality software applications by taking the consideration of the reusable components which are more suitable to provide high level data security and privacy. This paper has proposing the neural based fuzzy framework based approach to estimate the reusable components which are directly and indirectly involve the security and privacy to improve the quality of the software system. This approach has considered the twenty effecting factors and fifty three attribute matrices. It has formed with three stages of execution scenarios. The first stage has executed with eleven effecting factors and eighteen attribute matrices for identification of supporting software reusability components, the second stage has executed with four effecting factors and thirty five attribute matrices for identification of subinternal relationships in terms of security-privacy, and the third stage has executed with eight effecting factors and six attribute matrices for identification of sub of sub-internal relationships in terms of security risk estimation. This analytical finding proposes a fuzzy logic model to evaluate the most feasible effecting factors that influence the enterprise level data security-privacy practices at real time environment.
An efficient key management system is required to support cryptography. Most key management systems use either pre-installed shared keys or install initial security parameters using out-of-band channels. These methods create an additional burden for engineers who manage the devices in industrial plants. Hence, device deployment in industrial plants becomes a challenging task in order to achieve security. In this work, we present a device deployment framework that can support key management using the existing trust towards employees in a plant. This approach reduces the access to initial security parameters by employees; rather it helps to bind the trust of the employee with device commissioning. Thus, this approach presents a unique solution to the device deployment problem. Further, through a proof-of-concept implementation and security analysis using the AVISPA tool, we present that our framework is feasible to implement and satisfies our security objectives.

Software Reliability and Quality Assurance Challenges in Cyber Physical Syste...CSCJournals
Software Reliability is the probability of failure-free software operation for a specified period of time in a specified environment. Cyber threats on software security have been prevailing and have increased exponentially, posing a major challenge on software reliability in the cyber physical systems (CPS) environment. Applying patches after the software has been developed is outdated and a major security flaw. However, this has posed a major software reliability challenge as threat actors are exploiting unpatched and insecure software configuration vulnerabilities that are not identified at the design phase. This paper aims to investigate the SDLC approach to software reliability and quality assurance challenges in CPS security. To demonstrate the applicability of our work, we review existing security requirements engineering concepts and methodologies such as TROPOS, I*, KAOS, Tropos and Secure Tropos to determine their relevance in software security. We consider how the methodologies and function points are used to implement constraints to improve software reliability. Finally, the function points concepts are implemented into the CPS security components. The results show that software security threats in CPS can be addressed by integrating the SRE approach and function point analysis in the development to improve software reliability.
Intrusion Detection in Industrial Automation by Joint Admin AuthorizationIJMTST Journal
Intrusion response is a more important part of security protection. In industrial automation systems (IASs) have achieved maximum and availability attention. Real-time security policy of intrusion response has big challenge for intrusion response in IASs. The loss caused by the security threats may even increase the industrial automation. However, traditional approach in intrusion detection pays attention on security policy decisions and removes security policy execution. Proposed system presents a general, real-time control depends on table driven scheduling of intrusion detection and response in IASs to resolve the problem of security policy like assigning rights to use the system. Security policy created of a security service group, with every kind of security techniques supported by a realization task set. Realization tasks from different task sets can be combined to form a response task set. In this approach, first, a response task set is created by a non dominated genetic algorithm with joint consideration of security performance and cost. Then, the system is re- configured via an integrated scheduling scheme in which system tasks and response tasks are mapped and scheduled together based on a GA. Additionally, this system proposed Joint Admin Model (JTAM) model to control over unauthorized access in industrial automation system. Furthermore, proposed method shows result of industrial automation for security mechanism. Security policy helps to authenticate user request to access industrial resources.

Security has always been a great concern for all software systems due to the increased incursion of the wireless devices in recent years. Generally software engineering processes tries to compel the security measures during the various design phases which results into an inefficient measure. So this calls for a new process of software engineering in which we would try to give a proper framework for integrating the security requirements with the SDLC, and in this requirement engineers must discover all the security requirements related to a particular system, so security requirement could be analyzed and simultaneously prioritized in one go. In this paper we will present a new technique for prioritizing these requirement based on the risk measurement techniques. The true security requirements should be easily identified as early as possible so that these could be systematically analyzed and then every architecture team can choose the most appropriate mechanism to implement them.

SECURITY VIGILANCE SYSTEM THROUGH LEVEL DRIVEN SECURITY MATURITY MODELIJCSEIT Journal
Success of any software system largely looms upon its vigilance efficiency that prompts organizations to
meet the set of objectives in the arena of networks. In the highly competitive world, everything appears to
be vulnerable; information system is also not an exception to this fact. The security of information system
has become a cause of great concern. On the contrary, till time the software security engineers are trying
hard to develop fully protected and highly secured information systems but all these developments are at
nascent stages. It is quite revelling that in the earlier research studies, little attention is paid to highlight an
accurate status of the security alertness for developed software. Hence, keeping all these factors at the
backdrop, this paper is an attempt to propose a holistic Security Maturity Model (SMM), in which five
levels/stars have been developed, driven on the strength of the security vigilance occurring at the various
stages for any software. SMM is in its conceptual stage; the detailed steps will certainly require time to be
developed so that every software system can reap out the benefits of this model. To categorize/discriminate
the level of potency, SMM will be highlighted through appropriate ranking/star system. It is hoped that if
SMM will be followed in its true letter and sprit; undoubtedly, this will restore the clients’ trust and
confidence on the software as well as their corresponding vendors. Moreover, this will also enable software
industry to follow transparent and ethical practices.

WIRELESS SECURITY MEASUREMENT USING DATA VALUE INDEXIJNSA Journal
Nowadays, use of wireless technology in organizations is a regular act, and we can see this technology erupted in all possible different areas. Related to employing wireless technology those organizations need to apply properly security level, depend on security policy which already defined. If security system applied but not required, or security system required but not provided, leads to improper security system. In this paper we have shown the way to evaluate the data significant and their appropriate security level. Here a model to evaluate the cost of data on security point of view by consideration of some parameters like sensitivity, volume, life, frequency, etc…, this research makes organizations to predict and implement or understand the cost involved for security of their data by measuring the data value. We used questionnaire and survey methodologies to collect the data; and then used SPSS and SAS program to calculate and design a model. In this way regression and BOOTSTARP help us to find accurate result.

This paper reports on the Information Systems (IS) securitymeasures implemented by small and medium size enterprises (SMEs) in Zimbabwe. A survey questionnaire was distributed to 32 randomly selected participants in order to investigate the security measures and practices in their respective organisations. The results indicated that over 50% of the respondents had installed firewalls, while more than 80% carried out regular software updates and none of the respondents had intrusion detection systems. The researchers recommended that SMEs work to enhance their knowledge on the different IS threats in order to enable the implementation of preventive measures.

INTRODUCTION
Like all sectors of the economy, e-commerce has also been negatively impacted by the
worldwide economic downturn. While other sectors have seen their growth suddenly
move down in the reverse gear, e-commerce has held its ground well. According to
the latest published e-commerce statistics (US Department of Commerce, 2011),
online spending in 2010 in the United States increased 8.1 percent from that of 2009.
IMPLEMENTATION OF MOSRE FRAMEWORK FOR A WEB APPLICATION - A CASE STUDYijwscjournal
The Security Engineering discipline has become more and more important in the recent years. Security requirements engineering is essential to assure the Quality of the resulting software. An increasing part of the communication and sharing of information in our society utilize Web Applications. Last two years have seen a significant surge in the amount of Web Application specific vulnerabilities that are disclosed to the public because of the importance of Security Requirements Engineering for Web based systems and as it is still underestimated. Integration of Web and object technologies offer a foundation for expanding the Web to a new generation of applications. In this paper, we outline our proposed Model- Oriented Security Requirement Engineering (MOSRE) Framework for Web Applications. By applying Object-Oriented technologies and modeling to Security Requirement phase. So the completeness, consistency, traceability and reusability of Security Requirements can be cost effectively improved. We implemented our MOSRE Framework for E-Voting Application and set of Security Requirements are identified.
This article is relevant to IT project managers, the top management teams of organizations that design and deploy IT systems for critical infrastructures, and managers at organizations that provide
and maintain critical infrastructures.
SECURE SERVICES: INTEGRATING SECURITY DIMENSION INTO THE SA&D cscpconf
Services security is often assimilated to a set of software solutions (Firewall, data encryption.) but rarely consider the organizational security rules as a fundamental part of the Services security policy. With the increasing use of new Services architectures (Open Services architecture, distributed database, multi web server, multi-tier application servers) security leaks become crucial and every security problem is harmful to the organization business continuity. To reduce and detect major security risks at an earlier step of the Services project, our approach is based on different knowledge exchange between end users, analyst, designers and developers collaborating at the Services project. The knowledge is mainly oriented to the detection of weak signals inside the organization. In this paper, we present the different knowledge surroundings an Services project and a knowledge pattern structure that can be used for the formalization aspects of the established exchange that should be established during the Services project between the different participants
Security issues often neglected until coding step in
software development process, and changing in this step leads to
maximize time and cost consuming depending on the size of the
project. Applying security on design phase can fix vulnerabilities
of the software earlier in the project and minimize the time and
cost of the software by identifying security flaws earlier in the
software life cycle. This work concerns with discussing security
metrics for object oriented class design, and implementing these
metrics from Enterprise Architect class diagram using a
proposed CASE tool.
Generic Security Framework for Multiple Heterogeneous Virtual InfrastructuresIJRES Journal
Virtualization continues to take center stage at IT industry, yet many organizations are finding it difficult to secure virtualized environments. Security is a critical component in the growing IT system surrounding virtualization. Many organizations find the security challenges associated with virtualization to be a major hurdle, companies of all kinds across all industries are looking towards addressing business and security needs in the virtual infrastructure. There are many research work done before about how to check the compliance status of the cloud platform, not of the virtual machines running on the platform. This paper proposes the security framework for multiple heterogeneous virtual machines which assess the compliance security of the virtual machines. In this paper we make use of REST APIs, using which we create remote session on the virtual machines and fetch the machine values which will be parsed to get the required values for assessment.

Information security against hacking, altering, corrupting, and divulging data is vital and inevitable and it requires an effective management in every organization. Some of the upcoming challenges can be the study
of available frameworks in Enterprise Information Security Architecture (EISA) as well as criteria
extraction in this field. In this study a method has been adopted in order to extract and categorize
important and effective criteria in the field of information security by studying the major dimensions of
EISA including standards, policies and procedures, organization infrastructure, user awareness and
training, security base lines, risk assessment and compliance. Gartner's framework has been applied as a
fundamental model to categorize the criteria. To assess the proposed model, a questionnaire was prepared
and a group of EISA professionals completed it. The Fuzzy TOPSIS was used to quantify the data and prioritize criteria. It could be concluded that the database and database security criteria, inner software security, electronic exchange security and supervising malicious software can be high priorities.

SECURING SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT STAGES USING ASPECT-ORIENTATION CONCEPTSijseajournal
In the past 10 years, the research community has produced a significant number of design notations to
represent security properties and concepts in a design artifact. The need to improve the security of software
has become a key issue for developers.The security function needs to be incorporated into the software
development process at the requirement, analysis, design, and implementation stages as doing so may help
to smooth integration and to protect systems from attack. Security affects all aspects ofa software program,
which makes the incorporation of security features a crosscutting concern. Therefore, this paper looks at
the feasibility and potential advantages of employing an aspect orientation approach in the software
development lifecycle to ensure efficient integration of security.These notations are aimed at documenting
and analyzing security in a software design model. It also proposes a model called the Aspect-Oriented
Software Security Development Life Cycle (AOSSDLC), which covers arrange of security activities and
deliverables for each development stage. It is concluded that aspect orientation is one of the best options
available for installing security features not least because of the benefit that no changes need to be made to
the existing software structure.

Tech transfer making it as a risk free approach in pharmaceutical and biotech iniaemedu
Tech transfer is a common methodology for transferring new products or an existing
commercial product to R&D or to another manufacturing site. Transferring product knowledge to the
manufacturing floor is crucial and it is an ongoing approach in the pharmaceutical and biotech
industry. Without adopting this process, no company can manufacture its niche products, let alone
market them. Technology transfer is a complicated, process because it is highly cross functional. Due
to its cross functional dependence, these projects face numerous risks and failure. If anidea cannot be
successfully brought out in the form of a product, there is no customer benefit, or satisfaction.
Moreover, high emphasis is in sustaining manufacturing with highest quality each and every time. It
is vital that tech transfer projects need to be executed flawlessly. To accomplish this goal, risk
management is crucial and project team needs to use the risk management approach seamlessly.
