Abstract :
The research on software security is still in its infancy. Moreover, the design phase of software development is much ignored. Though, enough research is done for improvement of object oriented design quality, the improvement of object oriented design security has received little attention. The unavailability of any existing framework for minimization of object oriented design vulnerability has made the task complicated and haphazard. The research proposes a metric based framework for minimization of object oriented design vulnerability. The framework minimizes vulnerability by restricting the flow of vulnerable information.
