Towards Secure Agile Agent-Oriented System Design

Abstract

Agile methods are criticized to be inadequate for developing secure digital services. Currently, the softwareresearch community only partially studies security for agile practices. Our more holistic approach is identifying the security challenges / benefits of agile practices that relate to the core "embrace-changes" principle. For this case-study based research, we consider eXtreme Programming (XP) for a holistic security integration into agile practices.
