چکیده (انگلیسی):

Existing software applications become increasingly distributed as their continuity and lifetimes are
lengthened; consequently, the users’ dependence on these applications is increased. The security of
these applications has become a primary concern in their design, construction and evolution. Thus,
these applications give rise to major concerns on the capability of the current development approach to
develop secure systems. Component-Based Software Development (CBSD) is a software engineering
approach. CBSD has been successfully applied in many domains. However, the CBSD capability to
develop secure software applications is lacking to date. This study is an extension of the previous
study on the challenges of the security features in CBSD models. Therefore, this study proposes a
solution to the lack of security in CBSD models by highlighting the attributes that must be embedded
into the CBSD process. A thorough analysis of existing studies is conducted to investigate the related
software security attributes. The outcome analysis is beneficial for industries, such as software
development companies, as well as for academic institutions. The analysis also serves as a baseline
reference for companies that develop component-based software.
