Description du projet
De nouveaux outils pour renforcer la sécurité des DevOps
Le mouvement DevOps a pour objectif d’accroître la capacité d’une organisation à fournir des applications et des services à grande vitesse. Son but est de raccourcir le cycle de vie du développement des systèmes pour assurer la livraison continue de logiciels de haute qualité. Les pratiques actuelles de développement de systèmes reposent de plus en plus sur des composants prêts à l’emploi et préexistants, ce qui rend les rend sujets à certaines vulnérabilités de sécurité. Tandis que le DevOps promeut les livraisons de logiciels à un rythme de plus en plus soutenu, il importe de disposer d’artefacts de vérification développés en temps utile pour suivre la cadence. Le projet VeriDevOps, financé par l’UE, prévoit de mettre au point des méthodes et des outils qui permettront d’accélérer la boucle de rétroaction pour vérifier les exigences de sécurité (confidentialité, intégrité, disponibilité, authentification et autorisation) dans les systèmes cyberphysiques à grande échelle.
Objectif
VeriDevOps is about fast, flexible system engineering that efficiently integrates development, delivery, and operations, thus aiming at quality deliveries with short cycle time to address ever evolving challenges.
Current system development practices are increasingly based on using both off-the-shelf and legacy components which make such systems prone to security vulnerabilities.
Since DevOps is promoting frequent software deliveries, verification methods artifacts should be updated in a timely fashion to cope with the pace of the process. VeriDevOps aims at providing faster feedback loop for verifying the security requirements i.e. confidentiality, integrity, availability, authentication, authorization and other quality attributes of large scale cyber-physical systems. VeriDevOps is focusing on optimizing the security verification activities, by automatically creating verifiable models directly from security requirements, and using these models to check security properties on design models and generate artefacts (such as tests or monitors) that can be used (later on) in the DevOps process. More concretely, we will develop methods and tools for: 1) creating security models from textual specifications using natural language processing, 2) automatic security test creation from security models using model-based testing and model-based mutation testing techniques and 3) generating (intelligent/adaptive, ML-based) security monitors for the operational phases. This brings together early security verification through formal modelling as well as test generation, selection, execution and analysis capabilities to enable companies to deliver quality systems with confidence in a fast-paced DevOps environment. Overall, VeriDevOps is using the results of formal verification of security requirements and design models created during the analysis and design phase for test and monitor generation to be used to enhance the feedback mechanisms during development and operation phases.
