This is the home page for the Security and Safety on Software Engeering (SSE) Project.

What is SSE Project?

The scale of misuse or abuse of mission critical assets of computer-based systems has increased, because of their worldwide accessibility through the Internet and the automation of systems. Security and Safety are concerned with the prevention of such misuse or abuse. The systematic development of software considering the risks and the threats about security and safety is increasingly recognized as critical to successful establishment of secure and safe systems.

The aim of project is to give a future research direction as a Grand-Challenge and establish a new technology in software engineering for developing secure and safe systems effectively. The SSE project is funded by National Institute of Informatics.
