The metamodel for aspect-oriented modelling of security threats.
Specurity Aspects
Name
Description
Specifies the behavior of security threats.
Specification Elements
Name
Description
Encapsulates a group of pointcut, advice, and introduction specifications.
A join point is a well-defined point (e.g. method-call) in the flow of a program.
Selects particular join points by filtering out a subset of all join points, based on defined criteria.
Defines additional code to be executed at the join points that match the pointcut specification
Introduces new members to base modules.
