  • Introduction to Tools & Testing Techniques for Assured Software – DoD Software Assurance Community of Practice: Volume 2

    Author: Robert Gold
    Greetings, it is my honor to introduce the second of two special software assurance (SwA) editions of the Journal of Cyber Security & Information Systems, published by the Cyber Security & Information Systems Information Analysis Center (CSIAC). Our systems continue to increase their reliance on...
  • SARD: Thousands of Reference Programs for Software Assurance

    Author: Paul E. Black
    One way to understand the strengths and limitations of software assurance tools is to use a corpus of programs with known bugs. The software developer can run a candidate tool on programs in the corpus to get an idea of the kinds of bugs that...
  • Improving Software Assurance through Static Analysis Tool Expositions

    Authors: Terry S. Cohen, Damien Cupif, Aurelien Delaitre, ...
    The National Institute of Standards and Technology Software Assurance Metrics and Tool Evaluation team conducts research in static analysis tools that find security-relevant weaknesses in source code. This article discusses our experiences with Static Analysis Tool Expositions (SATEs) and how we are using that experience...
  • Software Assurance Adoption through Open Source Tools

    Authors: Corbin Moyer and Patrick Hart
    Software and Security engineering as a discipline is getting increased attention across the Department of Defense (DoD) as a mission enabler. Historically the DoD used an engineering approach that is independent from the type of product. Hardware and software then followed the same generic engineering...
  • Software Assurance Measurement – Establishing a Confidence that Security is Sufficient

    Authors: Dr. Carol C. Woody and Dr. Robert J. Ellison
    Measuring the software assurance of a product as it functions within a specific system context involves assembling carefully chosen metrics that demonstrate a range of behaviors to establish confidence that the product functions as intended and is free of vulnerabilities. The first challenge is to...
  • Engineering Software Assurance into Weapons Systems During the DoD Acquisition Life Cycle

    Authors: Dr. Scott M. Brown and Mr. Thomas Hurt
    Software assurance (SwA) is the “level of confidence that software functions as intended and is free of vulnerabilities, either intentionally or unintentionally designed or inserted as part of the software, throughout the life cycle.” [4] The latest change to Department of Defense (DoD) Instruction (DoDI)...
  • The Software Assurance State-of-the-Art Resource

    Author: Dr. David A. Wheeler
    Unintentional and intentionally inserted vulnerabilities in software can provide adversaries with various avenues to reduce system effectiveness, render systems useless, or even use our systems against us. Unfortunately, it can be difficult to determine what types of tools and techniques exist for evaluating software, and...
  • Piloting Software Assurance Tools in the Department of Defense

    Authors: Dr. Thomas P. Scanlon and Timothy A. Chick
    In this article, we present and describe the JFAC Enterprise Software Licensing Pilot program activities during the 2016 fiscal year. During this period, JFAC provided limited quantities of Software Assurance tools to users in the DoD with an aim of evaluating how the use of...
