Security Patterns from Intelligent Data: A Map of Software Vulnerability Analysis

摘要

A significant milestone is reached when the field of software vulnerability research matures to a point warranting related security patterns represented by intelligent data. A substantial research material of empirical findings, distinctive taxonomy, theoretical models, and a set of novel or adapted detection methods justify a unifying research map. The growth interest in software vulnerability is evident from a large number of works done during the last several decades. This article briefly reviews research works in vulnerability enumeration, taxonomy, models and detection methods from the perspective of intelligent data processing and analysis. This article also draws the map which associated with specific characteristics and challenges of vulnerability research, such as vulnerability patterns representation and problem-solving strategies.
