Applying security engineering to build security countermeasures: An introduction

초록

The general systems of today are composed of a number of components such as servers and clients, protocols, services, and so oil. Systems connected to network have become more complex and wide, but the researches for the systems are focused oil the 'performance' or 'efficiency'. While most of the attention in system security has been focused on encryption technology and protocols for securing the data transaction, it is critical to note that a weakness (or security hole) in any one of the components may comprise whole system. Security engineering is needed for reducing security holes may be included in the software. Therefore, more security-related researches are needed to reduce security weakness may be included in the software. This paper introduces some methods for reducing the threat to the system by applying security engineering, and proposes a method for building security countermeasure.
