This chapter presents a process for security requirements elicitation and analysis, based around the construction of a satisfaction argument for the security of a system. The process starts with the enumeration of security goals based on assets in the system, then uses these goals to derive security requirements in the form of constraints. Next, a satisfaction argument for the system is constructed, using a problem-centered representation, a formal proof to analyze properties that can be demonstrated, and structured informal argumentation of the assumptions exposed during construction of the argument. Constructing the satisfaction argument can expose missing and inconsistent assumptions about system context and behavior that effect security, and a completed argument provides assurances that a system can respect its security requirements.

Information security is becoming increasingly important and more complex as organizations are increasingly adopting electronic channels for managing and conducting business. However, state-of-the-art systems design methods have ignored several aspects of security that arise from human involvement or due to human factors. The chapter aims to highlight issues arising from coalescence of fields of systems requirements elicitation, information security, and human factors. The objective of the chapter is to investigate and suggest an agenda for state of human factors in information assurance requirements elicitation from perspectives of both organizations and researchers. Much research has been done in the area of requirements elicitation, both systems and security, but, invariably, human factors are not been taken into account during information assurance requirements elicitation. The chapter aims to find clues and insights into acquisition behavior of human factors in information assurance requirements elicitation and to illustrate current state of affairs in information assurance and requirements elicitation and why inclusion of human factors is required.
