Implementación de seguridad lógica de software aplicando técnicas de programación orientada a aspectos

Abstract

In this project, logic security mechanisms were analyzed, designed, constructed and tested, applying the aspect oriented paradigm, over a viable case study. The percentage of logical security components that can be implemented with Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) in a system, was defined through the analysis of the state of the art. With the advice of a security expert, a template of basic security requirements was elaborated that every system should have. This template was used to determine the case study and additionally define the security requirements that can be implemented. Applying the TDD development methodology, the requirements were developed and implemented in the selected case study. Subsequently, the implementation of security components with AOP was tested in a production system, by means of an analysis of functionality before and after AOP. Finally, the performance of the system with and without the application of the security component was checked. It is concluded that it is possible to implement 50% of logical software security mechanisms in a system in production.
