Abstract
There still exists an open question on how formal models can be fully realized in the system development phase. The Model Driven Development (MDD) approach has been recently introduced to deal with such a critical issue for building high assurance software systems.There still exists an open question on how formal models can be fully realized in the system development phase. The Model Driven Development (MDD) approach has been recently introduced to deal with such a critical issue for building high assurance software systems.The MDD approach focuses on the transformation of high-level design models to system implementation modules. However, this emerging development approach lacks an adequate procedure to address security issues derived from formal security models. In this paper, we propose an empirical framework to integrate security model representation, security policy specification, and systematic validation of security model and policy, which would be eventually used for accommodating security concerns during the system development. We also describe how our framework can minimize the gap between security models and the development of secure systems. In addition, we overview a proof-of-concept prototype of our tool that facilitates existing software engineering mechanisms to achieve the above-mentioned features of our framework.
