Abstract

During the last few years, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been considered to be the new phase in the evolution of distributed enterprise applications. Even though there is a common acceptance of this concept, a real problem hinders the widespread use of SOA : A methodology to design and build secure service-oriented applications is needed. In this dissertation, we design a novel process to secure service-oriented applications. Our contribution is original not only because it applies the MDA approach to the design of service-oriented applications but also because it allows their securing by dynamically applying security patterns throughout the whole process. Security patterns capture security knowledge and describe security mechanisms. In our process, we present a structured map of security patterns for SOA and web services and its corresponding catalog. At the different steps of a software lifecycle, the architect or designer needs to make some security decisions.
