Abstract:

Safety-critical control systems become increasingly open and interconnected. However, there is still a lack of the techniques that en- able an integrated analysis of safety and security requirements. In this paper, we propose an approach that allows the designers to derive and formalise safety and security requirements in a structured systematic way. To elicit both types of the requirements, we adapt and integrate traditional safety and security analysis techniques. To formally specify and verify them, we rely on Event-B framework. The framework allows us to develop a complex specification of system behaviour in presence of both accidental faults and security attacks and analyse mutual interdependencies between safety and security requirements.
