Abstract

In Security Requirements Engineering, many approaches offer different ways to model security requirements. This paper presents a model that can be used in conjunction with any of the former approaches. The model is an extension of SysML requirements diagrams that adds concepts from Security Requirements Engineering: Stakeholder, Goal, Asset and Risk. The proposed model is illustrated by applying it to a telemedicine system.
