Recent Advances in Software Security

EURASIP Journal on Information Security welcomes submissions to the
special issue on Recent Advances in Software Security.

The security of software has become crucial given the impact of the
attacks on organizations, individuals, and communities. Despite the
increased awareness and concerns about threats, current state of the
art of software engineering practices are inadequate. Building blocks
such as cryptography and protocols are necessary but not sufficient to
ensure the security of software. There has been progress in developing
methods and tools to engineer secure software and in empirically
studying the domain to identify best practices and phenomena. EURASIP
Journal on Information Security calls for a special issue on Recent
Advances in Software Security. This Special Issue aims to provide an
international forum for both researchers and industrial practitioners
to share the latest advances in the state of the art and practice of
software security and to identify emerging research topics.

Potential topics include but are not limited to:

Data-driven secure software development
challenges for agile development of secure software
experience with secure DevOps
incremental development of cyber-physical systems
secure software development training and education
tools supporting incremental secure software development
usability of agile secure software development
security awareness for software developers
security and robustness testing in agile development
