Tools for model-based security engineering: models vs. code
We present tools to support model-based security engineering on both the model and the code level. In the approach supported by these tools, one firstly specifies the securitycritical part of the system (e.g. a crypto protocol) using the UML security extension UMLsec. The models are automatically verified for security properties using automated theorem provers. These are implemented within a framework that supports implementing verification routines, based on XMI output of the diagrams from UML CASE tools. Advanced users can use this open-source framework to implement verification routines for the constraints of self-defined security requirements. In a second step, one verifies that security-critical parts of the model are correctly implemented in the code (which might be a legacy implementation), and applies security hardening transformations where is that not the case. This is supported by tools that (1) establish traceability through refactoring scripts and (2) modularize se...
