Abstract

Although security has been recognized as an increasingly important and critical issue for software system development, most security requirements are poorly specified: ambiguous, misleading, inconsistent among various parts, and lacking sufficient details. In this paper, a framework for specifying unambiguous, interoperable security requirements and detecting conflict and undesirable emergent properties in collaborative systems is presented. The framework includes a core ontology representing hierarchical security requirements, an ontology-based security requirement specification process, a set of security requirement refining rules, an algorithm for automatic security requirement refinement and an analysis algorithm to detect inconsistent security requirements. In this paper, the specification and refinement of security requirements are emphasized.
