The SafSec project will shortly be in Phase IV. The objectives of the preceeding phases were:
Phase I:
Determine if there was enough synergy between Safety and Security Certification to proceed with defining a single methodology that could address both, and that would be a benefit to addressing both aspects in a ‘joined up’ fashion.
Phase II:
Define a methodology, that was acceptable to all stakeholders, for addressing certification of both Safety and Security on Avionics systems.
Phase III:
Improve and validate the methodology defined in Phase II through making use of it on 2 Avionics case studies.
Phase IV:
Will make use of the methodology on a modular system that is under development. In particular the part of the methodology utilised will be that on defining Modular Boundary Contracts for AAvA or IMA system. It is believed that there is a great deal of synergy between the Modular Boundary Contracts being defined through industry research and the Modular Boundary Contracts that the SafSec Methodology proposes.
