Development of ISEE: An Information Security Engineering Environment

Security engineering has some features that are intrinsically different from software (reliability) engineering. Traditional software engineering environments are not adequate and effective for designing, developing, managing, and maintaining secure software systems. This paper presents our development of ISEE, an information security engineering environment we are developing, that integrates various tools and provides comprehensive facilities to support design, development, management, and maintenance of security facilities of information/software systems continuously and consistently, and guides and helps all users to perform their tasks regularly according to ISO/IEC security standards. ISEE is the first real information security engineering environment.
