Description

In today’s world, the financial retaliation of insecure software are escalating, with global damages expected to reach $10.29 trillion by the end of 2025. This alarming trend is largely due to a lack of expertise in secure software design, despite the availability of Security Design Patterns (SDP): reusable solutions for security concerns in software architecture. Recognizing the high complexity of secure design by its nature, prior work by D. Lammers introduced a metamodel for SDP to standardize their structure and extend comprehension. Building on Lammers’ work, this thesis proposes the development of a first tool that implements Lammers’ metamodel. The aim of this tool is to implement the SDPDM in a first software prototype, and thus bridge the gap between the theoretical metamodel and its practical application.
