Abstract

The importance of software security has been profound recently. The main issue during the early efforts of the late 90s was how to counterattack the buffer overflows problem. However, emphasis has recently shifted on how to counterfeit software attacks at the design level starting with the introduction of security patterns. We have qualitatively analyzed the most important security patterns, and quantitatively evaluated software systems based on their design, using fuzzy risk analysis, based on the security patterns they contain and the STRIDE model of attacks. Additionally, we have analyzed the effectiveness of code obfuscation techniques, which we think is a starting point for future research.
