This conceptual framework establishes a clear-cut vocabulary and makes explicit the interrelations between the different concepts and notions used in security engineering. Further, we apply our conceptual framework to compare and evaluate current security requirements engineering approaches, such as the Common Criteria, Secure Tropos, SREP, MSRA, as well as methods based on UML and problem frames. We review these methods and assess them according to different criteria, such as the general approach and scope of the method, its validation, and quality assurance capabilities. Finally, we discuss how these methods are related to the conceptual framework and to one another.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Schmidt2010, author = {Schmidt, Holger}, title = {Threat- and Risk-Analysis During Early Security Requirements Engineering}, series = {2010 International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security}, booktitle = {2010 International Conference on Availability, Reliability and Security}, publisher = {IEEE}, address = {Krakow}, isbn = {978-1-4244-5880-6}, doi = {10.1109/ARES.2010.14}, pages = {188 -- 195}, year = {2010}, abstract = {We present a threat and risk-driven methodology to security requirements engineering. Our approach has a strong focus on gathering, modeling, and analyzing the environment in which a secure ICT-system to be built is located. The knowledge about the environment comprises threat and risk models. This security-relevant knowledge is used to assess the adequacy of security mechanisms, which are selected to establish security requirements.}, language = {en} }
