A Software Product Line Approach for Feature Modeling and Design of Secure Connectors

Abstract

This paper describes a software product line approach to modeling the variability of secure software connectors by means of a feature model, which consists of security pattern and communication pattern features used in the design of secure component-based software architectures for concurrent and distributed software applications. Applying separation of concerns, these features are designed as security and communication pattern components. Each secure connector is designed as a composite component that encapsulates both security pattern and communication pattern components. Integration of these components within a secure connector is enabled by a security coordinator. This paper describes the feature model, design of secure connectors, how applications are built using secure connectors, and the validation of the approach.
