Abstract: | The increasing dependency on information systems to process and manage sensitive
information requires the usage of development methods that support the development of secure
and private information systems. The literature provides examples of methods that focus on
security and privacy individually but fail to provide evidence of information systems
development methods that consider security and privacy in a unified framework. Security and
privacy are very much related, in particular certain security properties and mechanisms support
the achievement of privacy goals. Without a development framework to support developers to
explicitly model that relationship, conflicts and vulnerabilities can be introduced to a system
design that might endanger its security. In this paper, we present our work in developing a
framework that supports the unified analysis of privacy and security. In particular, we present a
meta-model that combines concepts from security and privacy requirements methods, such as
security and privacy goals, properties, constraints, and actor and process patterns within a
social context. A real case study is employed to demonstrate the applicability of our work. |
