    Study Notes

    Integrating Security Into SDLC

    • Secure development enhances the software development life cycle (SDLC) by adapting existing SDLC activities, practices, and checkpoints.
    • This results in more dependable, trustworthy, and resilient software systems.
    • Software security relies on the absence of exploitable defects in source code and the binary executable.
    • System security emphasizes safeguards and countermeasures like cryptography, access controls, and security boundaries.

    SDLC Outline

    • Introduction to SDLC
    • System development life cycle (SDLC) explanation
    • Secure development life cycle activities and practices

    Introduction to Secure Software Development

    • Focus on security enhancements within the SDLC.

    Introduction

    • Security enhancement within the SDLC involves adapting existing SDLC activities, practices, and checkpoints.
    • The result is more dependable, trustworthy, and resilient software-based systems.

    Software Security vs. System Security

    • Software security relies on the absence of exploitable defects in source code and executables.
    • System security relies on safeguards like cryptography, access controls, and security boundaries.

    System Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

    • A traditional methodology for systems development, maintenance, and replacement.

    SDLC Methodologies, Techniques, Tools

    • Methodologies are step-by-step approaches for developing information systems.
    • Techniques are processes analysts follow to ensure well-thought-out complete and comprehensible work.
    • Tools are computer programs to aid in using specific techniques (e.g., CASE tools).
    • System development methodology is a standard process for organizations in analyzing, designing, implementing and maintaining information systems.

    SDLC Phases

    • Planning: Determining, analyzing, prioritizing and arranging total information system needs to translate into a plan for the IS department schedule.
    • Analysis: Studying and structuring system requirements in two sub-phases - requirements determination and requirements studying and structuring.
    • Design: Describing the recommended solution (logical and physical system specifications).
    • Implementation: Coding, testing, installing, and supporting information systems within the organization.
    • Maintenance: Systematically repairing and improving the system.

    Products, Outputs, or Deliverables (by Phase)

    • Planning - Priorities, architecture, detailed steps or work plans for projects, specifications, and assignment of resources.
    • Analysis - System justification, business case, description of current systems, and recommendations for fixing systems.
    • Design - Explanation of alternative systems, functional and technical specifications, plan for new technology.
    • Implementation - Code, documentation, training procedures, and support capabilities.
    • Maintenance - New versions or releases of software with updates
    • Detailed specifications
    • System elements

    Traditional Waterfall SDLC

    • One phase starts when the preceding phase is completed, with limited backtracking and looping.
    • System requirements are "locked-in" after determination and can't change.
    • User involvement is limited primarily during the requirements phase.
    • Emphasis on milestone deadlines is sometimes detrimental to practices.

    Different Approaches to Improving Development

    • Prototyping, Computer-Aided Software Engineering (CASE) Tools, Joint Application Design (JAD), Rapid Application Development (RAD), Agile Methodologies, Extreme Programming

    Secure Development Life Cycle Activities and Practices

    • The table in the document lists phases, roles, activities, and additional/enhanced secure software activities.
