Usability support security patterns

Abstract

The main feature of secure software lies in the nature of processes and practices used to specify, design, develop and implement software. Security patterns applied the concept of pattern in the security realm. Its description helps to capture immediately the essence: what is the problem to which attends and what the proposed solution is. The different formats that exist for its description and the multiplicity of sources make its discovery demand effort that discourages the systematic use by potential recipients. This paper presents the prototype of a catalogue that seeks to establish a bridge between the knowledge and experience security experts and the needs of knowledge of software development teams.
