GOALS AND TOPICS OF INTEREST
****************************

Security patterns have arrived to a stage where there are a significant 
number of them, two books about them have been published, and industry 
is starting to accept and use them. Analysis and design patterns have 
been around for about ten years and have found practical use in many 
projects. They have been incorporated into several software development 
methodologies where less experienced developers can use them to receive 
the advice and knowledge of experts. The situation is not so clear for 
security patterns because no accepted methodology exists for their use.

Catalogs of security patterns are a good step, but they are not enough. 
Building secure systems is a difficult process where security aspects are 
interlaced with the satisfaction of functional requirements. Developers 
are typically experts on a language or a development methodology but know 
little about security, which results in them not knowing what security 
mechanisms make sense at which moments. We need methodologies that guide 
a designer at each stage of the development cycle. A few of them have 
appeared, but none of them has been tested in production applications.

This workshop focuses on secure software methodologies. We seek papers 
describing individual security patterns, new methodologies, new aspects 
of existing methodologies, pattern languages to use in the methodologies, 
reference architectures, blueprints, and related aspects. Experiences in 
applying the methodologies to real situations are especially welcome.
