Introduction
In our modern society, software is an integral part of everyday life, and we expect and depend upon software systems to perform correctly. Software security is about ensuring that systems continue to function correctly also under malicious attack. As most systems now are web-enabled, the number of attackers with access to the system increases dramatically and thus the threat scenario changes. The traditional approach to secure a system includes putting up defence mechanisms like IDS and firewalls, but such measures are no longer sufficient by themselves. We need to be able to build better, more robust and more secure systems. Even more importantly, however, we should strive to achieve these qualities in all software systems, not just the ones that need special protection. This workshop will focus on techniques, experiences and lessons learned for engineering secure and dependable software. Topics Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: - Secure architecture and design - Security in agile software development - Aspect-oriented software development for secure software - Security requirements - Risk management in software projects - Secure implementation - Secure deployment - Testing for security - Quantitative measurement of security properties - Static and dynamic analysis for security - Verification and assurance techniques for security properties - Lessons learned - Security and usability - Teaching secure software development - Experience reports on successfully attuning developers to secure software engineering Important dates: - Submission Deadline: October 25th 2007 - Author Notification: November 30th 2007 - Author Registration: December 15th 2007 - Proceedings Version: January 2nd 2008 - Conference/workshop: March 4th - March 7th 2008 |
