Towards Obtaining UML Class Diagrams from Secure Business Processes Using Security Patterns.

The incorporation of security concepts on business processes models has turned out to be an interesting factor in the software development cycle, since it allows an early capture of security aspects, which will then be used in later stages.

This article tackles the procurement of UML classes that allow the advancement in a software development process with security requirements expressed as business processes as a base, using a BPMN extension and security patterns.
