Abstract

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) play a key role in our daily activities. ITS development over the last decades has been based on the rapid evolution of information technologies, which include processing capabilities, availability of hardware and communication technologies. Moreover, ITS use Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to improve sustainability, efficiency, innovation and safety of transportation networks helping towards better management of transportation networks with the use of advanced technologies, which facilitate monitoring, and management of information. However, as the development of ITS services increases so does the users’ awareness regarding the degree of trust that they show on adopting this kind of services. The later has brought light to several security and privacy concerns that ITS analysts should consider when implementing various IT related services. This paper moves into this direction by identifying how risk analysis can interact with security and privacy requirements engineering world, in order to provide a holistic approach for reasoning about security and privacy in such complex environments like ITS systems. The key contribution of the paper is the conceptual alignment of three well-known methods (EBIOS, Secure Tropos and PriS) as the first step towards the design of a complete assurance framework that will assist analysts in designing safe and trustworthy ITS services.
