SafSec
SafSec status
The
SafSec project has now completed. The objectives of its various phases were:
Phase I:
Determine if there was enough synergy between Safety and Security Certification to proceed with defining a single methodology that could address both, and that would be a benefit to addressing both aspects in a ‘joined up’ fashion.
Phase II:
Define a methodology, that was acceptable to all stakeholders, for addressing certification of both Safety and Security on Avionics systems.
Phase III:
Improve and validate the methodology defined in Phase II through making use of it on 2 Avionics case studies.
Phase IV:
Made use of the methodology on a modular system that is under development. In particular the part of the methodology utilised was that on defining Modular Boundary Contracts for a AAvA or IMA system. There is a great deal of synergy between the Modular Boundary Contracts being defined through industry research and the Modular Boundary Contracts that the SafSec Methodology proposes.
