Nowadays, security and safety aspects are two of the major concerns for any software system development, especially while developing safety critical systems. This is especially relevant for very small entities because they have a limited amount of resources for dealing with all these aspects at the same time. In addition, these systems are highly regulated domains, and they involve a huge set of standards focused on safety and security‐related issues. Therefore, these small entities are not only facing hurdles related to technical aspects but also from the so‐called technical debt when overarching a critical development. This paper extends the assurance cases approach by integrating security aspects within the life cycle, and it proposes a framework for managing the associated security technical debt for very small entities. A tool chain is outlined, and the approach is illustrated with an industrial use case.

“…As stated previously, this paper extends a previous research work by adding security mechanisms and by analysing safety constraints. In addition, authors published works related to the ISO 26262 and safety critical systems . Requirements and design assumptions are critical when designing an ISO 26262 SEooC .…”

Robot Operating System (ROS) is a middleware for connecting different components of robots. However, its use is becoming more popular in other domains such as in the automotive sector where initial prototypes have been customized and deployed in cars for demonstrating different functional purposes. Nevertheless, ROS has not been yet tested enough to be used in secure and safety environments. For example, in order to strengthen our ROS architecture, we have encrypted the messages within it. Therefore, this paper analyses the impact of Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption mechanism and the functional safety of our prototype. In this sense, we are considering encrypting messages and we assess the timing constraints, as suggested by the ISO 26262, required for assuring a secure communication between components.

“…Nevertheless, the role of security and privacy is not always preserved, exposing businesses and people to great danger. Research studies in mass surveillance [1] reveal not only the importance of data security and privacy, especially as far as safety‐critical systems are concerned [2, 3], but also the impact of cybersecurity in these domains [4]. Security and privacy in cloud‐based systems is not a simple task; it includes a wide range of aspects such as control policies [5], traditional securing applications [6], the insider threat problem [7], or new legislations, such as the GDPR.…”
