Security ontology proposal for mobile applications

Mobility is an emerging area that comes up with several technologies and stakeholders. Dealing with the security requirement for mobile applications means acquiring all the knowledge and the available technologies for the design and deployment of a reliable and usable countermeasure. Not only the field lacks of standards but also requires several quality constraints. To assist developers to face such a challenge, we propose a knowledge base solution through the conceptualization of a security ontology. The ontology was implemented in OWL-DL semantic language with Protege 4 tool. The ontology schema and instantiation are commented, target use is mentioned through its integration in a whole approach for security in the mobile world.
