Requirements for security in cooperative work: two case studies

The purpose of this work is to provide a source of information about requirements for security and protection in software to support cooperative work. This report should be read in conjunction with its companion report [1], which describes a security model for cooperative work derived in part from the case studies presented in this report. Our case studies take the form of definitions of the security requirements for items of administrative work in which the security of information is essential. The examples are drawn from the authors’ university experience; they are: 1. the preparation of an examination paper, and 2. the preparation of a Course Directory, providing a summary of all of the courses on offer by the various departments of the university. We draw conclusions from each case study concerning its security requirements. In the final section of the report we consider their implications for the definition of a security model for cooperative work.
