Abstract
This is a survey of the processes, practices, and technologies that can help software maintenance engineers improve the security of software systems. A particular emphasis is placed on validating security architectures, verifying that the implementation of an architecturepsilas constituent applications adhere to secure coding practices, and protecting software systems against malicious software. In addition to surveying the state-of-the-art, research challenges pertaining to software security are posed to the software maintenance research community.
