Security patterns are a well-established means to encapsulate and communicate proven
security solutions and introduce security into the development process. Our objective is to …

Security patterns encompass security-related issues in secure software system development
and operations that often appear in certain contexts. Since the late 1990s, about 500 …

Rapid technological advances in recent years have precipitated a general shift towards
software distribution as a central computing paradigm. This has been accompanied by a …

During the initial stages of software development, the primary goal is to define precise and
detailed requirements without concern for software realizations. Security constraints should …

Driven by expanding scientific computing and business enterprise needs, the last decade
has seen a shift toward software paradigms in which distribution plays a central role. The …

Since Gamma et al. published their design patterns, patterns are very popular in the area of
software engineering. They provide best practice to handle recurring problems during the …

Software security is an emerging area in software development. More and more
vulnerabilities are published and highlight the endangerment of systems. Hence, software …

Architectural tactics are design decisions intended to improve some system quality factor.
Since their initial formulation, they have been formalized, compared with patterns and …

This chapter describes ongoing work on the use of patterns in the development of secure
systems. The work reflects a collaboration among five research centers on three continents …

Privacy patterns describe core aspects of privacy-enhancing solutions to recurring problems
and can, therefore, be instrumental to the privacy-by-design paradigm. However, the privacy …
