Abstract

A method of security design is presented, founded on a systematic seven step approach: (1) drafting a security policy, (2) a list of requirements, (3) a security scheme, and (4) a fraud-risk analysis. Based on these documents: (5) the security measures can be selected, (6) and implemented, (7) to result in a security product. Simulation and/or experiments are required to assess the relevant properties of the design or product. The actual evaluation consists of comparing these properties with the requirements. Subsequently weak and strong points, and possible paths of attack will be established. In case the evaluation reveals a considerable mismatch between requirements and characteristics, the design cycle has to be passed through again and either the requirements must be adapted, or the design, or both. This procedure is repeated until the remaining mismatch between requirements and design properties becomes acceptable. It is paramount that an evaluation is not postponed until the final stage of product realization, but is carried out in the early phases of the project. In fact it is beneficial if all seven step of the design are the subject of an evaluation. Some design considerations for optically variable devices are discussed.
