Abstract:
Security critical systems must perform at the required security level, make effective use of available resources, and meet end-users expectations. Balancing these needs, and at the same time fulfilling budget and time-to-market constraints, requires developers to design and evaluate alternative security treatment strategies. In this paper, the authors presented a development framework that utilizes Bayesian belief networks (BBN) and aspect-oriented modeling (AOM) for a cost-benefit trade-off analysis of treatment strategies. AOM allows developers to model pervasive security treatments separately from other system functionality. This eases the trade-off by making it possible to swap treatment strategies in and out when computing return on security investments (RoSI). The trade-off analysis is implemented using BBN, and RoSI is computed by estimating a set of variables describing properties of a treatment strategy. RoSI for each treatment strategy is then used as input to choice of design.
