Abstract

We describe a highly automated and tool-supported method for the correct integration of security mechanisms into distributed applications. Security functions to establish and release secure connections are provided as self-contained, collaborative building blocks specifying the behavior of several parties. For the security mechanisms to be effective, the application-specific model needs to fulfill certain behavioral properties, for instance, a consistent start and termination. We identify these properties and show how they lead to correct secured applications.
