Abstract

An increasing number of security attacks on software have motivated the need for including secure development practices within the software development life cycle. With this urgent need, software security management system has received considerable attention and there are various efforts that can be found in this direction. In this paper, we highlighted the need for including application context-sensitive modeling within case-based software security management system proposed by the authors in [3]. Therefore, in this paper, we extend the previous work [3] to include application context modeling. The proposed idea constructs software security models using an application context.
