Integrating Secure Software Assurance Content with SE2004 Recommendations

Abstract

This study identifies the places where software assurance knowledge best fits with the elements of a standard software engineering curriculum. This is useful because there is currently no common understanding of the places in a traditional software engineering curriculum where software assurance should be taught. It would appear that the recommendations of the DHS CBK can be justified as a basis for teaching software engineering concepts for developing secure and assured software.
