Abstract

Following the success of software engineering design patterns, security patterns are a promising approach to aid in the design and development of more secure software systems. At the same time, recent studies on aspect-oriented programming (AOP) suggest that software security concerns are good candidates for AOP techniques. Building upon the authors' previous work on aspectization of security patterns, this study contributes the development of aspect-oriented strategy sections for a set of web-tier security patterns. It also adds to the small but growing body of quantitative evidence on the effects of aspectization on the modularity of security pattern code.
