In this paper, we present an aspect-oriented approach for the systematic security hardening
of source code. It aims at allowing developers to perform software security hardening by …

In the coming years, information technology will continue to transform the way we think,
work, communicate, and learn. The tremendous success of Internet-related technologies …

Some security concerns are sensitive to flow of information in a program execution. The
dataflow pointcut has been proposed by Masuhara and Kawauchi in order to easily …

Even though there are numerous prior studies concentrating on finding and forecasting
vulnerability, the research community have less attention to the aftermath of vulnerability …

Aspect-oriented software development builds on the concept of separation of concerns. It is
concerned with addressing and handling the scattering and tangling issues related to the …

In this paper, we present new pointcuts and primitives to Aspect-Oriented Programming
(AOP) languages that are needed for systematic hardening of security concerns. The two …

This paper presents an aspect-oriented calculus for security called λ_SAOP. It is based on
the λ_calculus and contains pointcuts that are relevant to security hardening of applications …

Aspect-oriented Programming (AOP) appears to be a promising paradigm for software
security hardening. Using AOP, security experts can be responsible for coding security …

Computer security is taking an increasingly predominant role in today's environment. The
information technology industry is facing challenges in public confidence at the discovery of …

Security is of paramount importance in software engineering. Nevertheless, security
solutions are generally fitted into existing software as an afterthought phase of the …
