Title Security Requirements Elaborations for Grid Data Management Systems
Contributors
Abstract In this paper, we present a goal-oriented approach to design policies for managing security requirements of critical information infrastructures (CII). The approach, adapted from a standard and widely accepted re-quirements engineering methodology, is applied to the security analysis of a specific CII: Grid Data Man-agement Systems (GDMS). Based on domain ontologies, combining concepts borrowed both from Virtual Organisation and Secure UML, a comprehensive set of GDMS security requirements is elicited and structured first semi-formally then formally. The benefits of the early formalisation are illustrated in term of complete-ness and consistency. A specific security analysis, using anti-goals, is also performed on the resulting formal security model to address the presence of malicious agents. Derivation of security policy from the set of secu-rity requirements is performed, first based on an abstract operationalization, still in the problem domain, and then it is translated into more concrete policy templates using standard policy constructs. Perspectives of the policy refinement and translation on existing policy languages and frameworks are described for its low-level implementation.
