Introducing a multi-layered model-based design approach towards safety-security co-engineering

International audienceThe integration of safety and security concerns in critical domains is of utmost importance, and should be conducted in early design phases of System Engineering (SE) process. However, within a Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE) realm, this goal is hindered by the complex requirement enrichment process across system models/views that often lacks guidance for non-savvy engineers to facilitate integration and verification of stringent safety and security exigencies. In this regard, we present a multi-layered design approach that leverages existing techniques like Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) and formal methods, to facilitate integrated verification of safety and security properties that can be further specialized across different representations (i.e. mission, functional, and component) of a System Under Design (SUD). Our research is in progress and further results are expected to be presented soon
