Computer-aided tool based on common criteria related design patterns

Summary/Abstract: The paper describes the results of an R&D project whose aim was to work out a computer tool supporting the development of IT products with built-in security features. The tool ensures that all security measures are applied into a product with regards to the requirements of the ISO/IEC 15408 standard (Common Criteria for Information Technology Security Evaluation). Nowadays there are only a few, limited solutions which support developers in using the Common Criteria methodology. The proposed tool supports three basic processes: security development, product development, and product evaluation as well as writing special evidence documents based on design patterns. Developers used the tool in software- and hardware projects and demonstrated it facilitates and speeds up the development processes of IT security-enhanced products.
