Description
Summary:	Since the advent and astronomical rise of the Internet and E-business, organizations must secure their computer systems or risk malicious attacks. While there have been several software lifecycle process standards (SLPS) for both military and industrial software development, their activities and deliverables are not yet integrated with security engineering (SE) activities. This lack of integration has created conflicts among the system development stakeholders (e.g. system acquirers and developers) during secure information systems development projects. This paper proposes an integration model that interweaves all the process activities and deliverables of SLPS with SE activities, taking IEEE/EIA 12207 as an example of SLPS. This model provides practical guidelines for the development of secure information systems while informing stakeholders how SLPS is related to the SE activities.
