Abstract

Security patterns are a useful technique for packaging and applying security knowledge. However, because patterns represent partial knowledge of a problem and solution space, there is little certainty that addressing the consequences of one problem won't introduce or exacerbate another. In this abstract, we suggest that rather than using patterns exclusively to explore possible solutions to security problems, we should use them to carry out a premortem on why they instead cause problems. We present the approach taken to devise and tool-support such a process using data from the EU FP 7 webinos project.
