Dear all,

We would like to announce the availablility of version 2.1 Beta 1 of the
CORAS Tool for model-based security risk analysis.

This is a feature and bugfix release.  Among the highlights are improved
security and enhanced diagram and table editors, plus a number of other
improvements and fixes.

For further details on changes, installation, upgrading, and more,
please see the release notes:
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=3D405333&group_id=

88350

The installation files can be downloaded from the SourceForge.net
webpage: http://coras.sourceforge.net/downloads.html
=20
This release is backwards compatible with databases from earlier 2.0.x
versions.
To upgrade, simply install 2.1 Beta 1 in a clean directory and copy the
database files from your old installation to the corresponding location
in your new 2.1 Beta 1 installation directory.  The database files are
located in the 'server\default\data\exist\data' directory under your
installation.

However, please note that because of changes to the interaction between
client and server, 2.0.x clients should not be used with a 2.1 server
and vice versa.

PS! We would also like to note that the Subversion repository for the
CORAS Tool has been migrated to SourceForge.net now that SourceForge
provides this service.  It is thus now possible to follow the daily
development of the CORAS Tool.  For more information, please see:

It is our pleasure to invite you to attend a half-day tutorial on
the CORAS risk analysis process, modelling language and tools. =20
The tutorial will be held during the Third International Conference=20
on Trust Management (iTrust'05), on Monday May 23rd in Rocquencourt,
France (close to Versailles/Paris). =20

There will also be a separate CORAS Tool demonstration session=20
during the conference.


 Tutorial abstract:
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
The CORAS EU-project developed a framework for model-based security
risk analysis.  Recent work has focused on the application and
adaptation of this framework to the analysis of trust and legal
issues.  The CORAS framework consists of a methodology, a language,
and a computerised tool.  The methodology integrates aspects from
partly complementary risk analysis techniques, like HazOp, FMEA,=20
and FTA, with state-of-the-art system modelling methodology based on=20
UML 2.0.  A graphical threat modelling language has been developed to
support documentation and communication of security analysis results.

The tutorial will present the CORAS methodology and language and give
a walkthrough of an analysis of an example scenario.  After the
tutorial, the participants should be familiar with the overall CORAS
risk analysis process as well as the threat modelling language. =20
The tutorial will also show how to use the CORAS Tool together with
external software development and risk analysis tools to document and
maintain risk analysis results.
