Analytical network process for software security: a design perspective

In today’s world, development organizations are receiving pressure from users to focus on better security design during software development. Security attributes perform a key role in security design. For improvement in design of security, this study evaluates weightage of security attributes. The core aim of this work is to conclude the relations among security factors and their priorities. Here, authors are using analytical network process to identify the priorities of security attributes. The results are offered as a guide for developers. The priority weights of security attributes may be used to analyze trade-off between conflicting software security attributes.
