The security threats to mobile applications are growing explosively. Mobile apps flaws and security defects open doors for hackers to break in and access sensitive information. Defensive requirements analysis should be an integral part of secure mobile SDLC. Developers need to consider the information confidentiality and data integrity, to verify the security early in the development lifecycle rather than fixing the security holes after attacking and data leaks take place. Early eliminating known security vulnerabilities will help developers increase the security of apps and reduce the likelihood of exploitation. However, many software developers lack the necessary security knowledge and skills at the development stage, and that's why Secure Mobile Software Development education is very necessary for mobile software engineers. In this paper, we propose a guided security requirement analysis based on OWASP Mobile Top ten security risk recommendations for Android mobile software development and its traceability of the developmental controls in SDLC. Building secure apps immune to the OWASP Mobile Top ten risks would be an effective approach to provide very useful mobile security guidelines.

Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) utilizes many dedicated sensors for large scale networks in order to record and monitor the conditions over the environment. Cluster-Based Wireless Sensor Networks (CBWSNs) elucidates essential challenges like routing, load balancing, and lifetime of a network and so on. Conversely, security relies a major challenge in CBWSNs by limiting its resources or not forwarding the data to the other clusters. Wireless Sensor Networks utilize different security methods to offer secure information transmission. Encryption of information records transferred into various organizations thus utilizing a very few systems are the normal practices to encourage high information security. For the most part, such encoded data and also the recovery of unique data depend on symmetric or asymmetric key sets. Collectively with the evolution of security advances, unfruitful or unauthorized endeavors have been made by different illicit outsiders to snip the transmitted information and mystery keys deviously, bother the transmission procedure or misshape the transmitted information and keys. Sometimes, the limitations made in the correspondence channel, transmitting and receiving devices might weaken information security and discontinue a critical job to perform. Thus, in this paper we audit the current information security design and key management framework in WSN. Based on this audit and recent security holes, this paper recommends a plausible incorporated answer for secure transmission of information and mystery keys to address these confinements. Thus, consistent and secure clusters is required to guarantee appropriate working of CBWSNs.

Technologies such as Industry 4.0 or assisted/autonomous driving are relying on highly customized cyber-physical realtime systems. Those systems are designed to match functional safety regulations and requirements such as EN ISO 13849, EN IEC 62061 or ISO 26262. However, as systems - especially vehicles - are becoming more connected and autonomous, they become more likely to suffer from new attack vectors. New features may meet the corresponding safety requirements but they do not consider adversaries intruding through security holes with the purpose of bringing vehicles into unsafe states. As research goal, we want to bridge the gap between security and safety in cyber-physical real-time systems by investigating real-time-aware intrusion-tolerant architectures for automotive use-cases.
