Secure Dynamic System Development Method (SDSDM) model for secure software development

Abstract

The main aim of the proposed SDSDM for secure software development is to provide security to all the DSDM phases. This paper proposes a way to map these security activities into DSDM phases. The phases of software security in DSDM model can be mapped into the activities of security engineering in the Software development life cycle. The proposed SDSDM for secure software development consists of several security-related activities that form a process to support the development of a more secure DSDM. The major problem in DSDM is the lack of basic security elements in its phases. In this paper, we discuss how security can be deployed in DSDM phases by creating a new model which serve as SDSDM security measures in software development life cycle. Based on this research we introduced some additional phases and sub-phases to the vulnerable DSDM to formed a secure DSDM .The main aim of this research is to fill in the gap by integrating security into DSDM phases and activities in a systematic way while preserving its agility.
