Abstract

The EU-funded CORAS project (IST-2000–25031) is developing a framework for model-based risk assessment of security-critical systems. This framework is characterised by: (1) A careful integration of techniques and features from partly complementary risk assessment methods. (2) Patterns and methodology for UML oriented modelling targeting the different risk assessment methods. (3) A risk management process based on AS/NZS 4360. (4) A risk documentation framework based on RM-ODP. (5) An integrated risk management and system development process based on UP. (6) A platform for tool-inclusion based on XML. This chapter describes and explains the CORAS approach to model-based risk assessment. The ability to aid risk assessment in a component-based software engineering process receives particular attention. We consider maintenance, composition as well as reuse of risk assessment results.
