English Abstract
Aspect-oriented Programming (AOP) is a relatively new approach to Software Engineering that complements OOP by expressing the crosscutting concerns in a separate structure called an Aspect.
One of the most important concepts in AOP is the concept of weaving.
Weaving is the process of modifying code that changes the behavior of software in specific points in the system code.Weaving can be accomplished in two ways: Static weaving (at compile time) and dynamic weaving (at runtime). The research is focused on the security concerns arising from dynamic weaving for C++ programming language.
The thesisstudies the impact of dynamic weaving on systems and application security overall in terms of the three security components: Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability.
The research proposes a solution to control the risk that occursfrom dynamic weaving of aspects in C++ language.The solution is a design of a new security framework called secure dynamic weaving system (SDWS) that eliminates the potential risks arising from dynamic weaving in aspect orient programming languages and environments with focus on C++.
SDWS consists of security enforcement modules that offer securing the process of dynamic weaving before, during and after weaving aspects. SDWS is validated through a feature-by-feature comparison with similar past works that tackled securing dynamic weaving.
The evaluation shows that the new design can potentially be more beneficial in securing systems working with such dynamic environments.
