Secure Feature Driven Development (SFDD) Model for Secure Software Development

This paper introduces an enhanced Feature Driven Development (FDD) model for secure software development. In fact, the enhanced model is based on our previous study and its findings which concluded that existing FDD poses limitations to develop secure software. Thus, an enhanced FDD that supports secure software development is proposed. We have implemented this new FDD model and conducted a case study to compare the level of security in the undergraduate and postgraduate level students. The paper illustrates that agility of FDD is not affected significantly, even after adding new phases.
