Abstract

To be able to build a secure network, it is essential to model the threats to the network. A methodology for building a threat model has been proposed in the paper. Several existing threat models and methodologies will be compared to the proposed methodology. The aim of the proposed methodology is to give a structured, convenient approach for building threat models. A framework for the threat model is presented with a list of requirements for methodology. The methodology will be applied to build a threat model for Personal Networks. Practical tools like UML sequence diagrams and attack trees have been used. Also risk assessment methods will be discussed. Threat profiles and vulnerability profiles have been presented.

Keywords: Attack Trees Threat model UML Vulnerabilities personal networks (PN)
