Abstract

Software architectures that are centered on security historically contain layers to implement security controls, with the layered structure tending towards a series of rings. John Warden devised a five-ring model to assess enemy systems for strategic warfare attacks. We propose applying this same model to the domain of software in order to create a security-centric ring-based software architecture. This architecture would provide a foundation for software systems that would be highly resistant to malicious software.
