Researchers formalize security feature location, mapping code regions to security features like authentication and encryption to audit implementations.

The paper introduces security feature location: the task of relating code locations to implemented security features such as authentication and encryption. It argues the task enables developers to understand security implementations and assess whether intended security properties are actually enforced in software systems.

Key facts
  • Defines a new task: security feature location
  • Maps code locations to features like authentication and encryption
  • Goal is verifying enforcement of intended security properties

Software security must be realized through security features such as authentication and encryption, but which features does a system implement, and where? We present security feature location: the task of relating code locations to security features, enabling developers to understand security implementations and assess whether intended security properties are enforced.
