TSSR: A Proposed Tool for Secure Software Requirement Management

Abstract

This paper provides a unified framework in which entire design of the project can be captured right from the beginning of the software development. This paper discusses about the requirements which should be included in the development of the requirement management tools. As the requirements, criteria which have been discussed, we introduce a requirement management tool known as TSSR (Tool for Secure Software Requirement). This tool manages risk analysis, system requirements, security of the system and project, users/group restriction, encrypted database, traceability and extension of the tool to interact with external requirement management tools. The aim of this paper is to describe the TSSR framework and its four components: Planner, Modeller, Prover and Documenter which will be helpful in interacting and managing requirements with arbitrary number of external tools for secure software development.
