Abstract: In software construction, analysis investigates system requirements and design captures system functionality. To facilitate analysis and design, one popular technique is the unified modeling language, UML . In UML, there are use-case diagrams for the interaction of users with system components, class diagrams for the static classes and relations among them, and sequence diagrams for the dynamic behavior of objects. However, analyzing and designing security requirements in UML is not directly supported. In this chapter, we incorporate role-based access control (RBAC) and mandatory access control (MAC) into UML use-case and class diagrams. In addition, we provide analysis across the UML diagrams, as actors, use cases and classes are defined, to support a degree of security assurance (with mutual exclusion), thereby realizing secure software design in UML. We briefly report on our RBAC/MAC enhancements into Borland’s UML tool Together Control Center. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
