| Abstract: | This paper introduces a knowledge-based approach for the security analysis and design of e-health applications. Following this approach, knowledge acquired through the process of developing secure e-health applications is represented in the form of security patterns; thus, it is made available to future developers. In this paper we present a set of security patterns that was developed based on the aforementioned approach. Security requirements for this set of patterns have been identified following a security and privacy analysis. The security patterns have been designed on the basis of a security ontology that was developed for this purpose. The ontology allows all concepts of importance and their relationships to be identified. The paper also describes the validation of the developed ontology, and compares the approach employed to other relevant methods in the domain of secure application development. |
