PhD thesis in computer science for the student (Heba Munir Yahya Othman)
PhD thesis defense in the College of Computer Science and Mathematics – Department of Computer Science
Entitled “Rebuilding to improve software security”
” Refactoring for Software Security Enhancement ”
In continuation of the scientific research movement and the follow-up and presence of the Dean of the College of Computer Science and Mathematics, Prof. Dr. Duha Bashir Abdullah
Discussed in the discussion hall of the College of Computer Science and Mathematics at the University of Mosul on Thursday 24- 10- 2024
PhD thesis in computer science for the student (Heba Munir Yahya Othman) under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Dajan Bashir Taha
The thesis submitted by the student dealt with programming a tool that improves the confidentiality of programs after applying code restructuring techniques and training this tool to predict the security of programs
After feeding it with the necessary information, in addition to creating a new dataset called SQDS for integrating quality metrics with confidentiality measures for a type of code odors (GodClass)
In addition to the use of deep learning (RNN, LSTM, GRU) in classifying and predicting three types of code odors (God Class- Feature Envy- Long Method) And find the best way to classify
The study dealt with the use and calculation of a set of confidentiality measures for the purpose of reducing the surface area of the attack on systems
And reduce access to important and sensitive data in software systems
The study aims to improve the confidentiality of the total software and reduce the surface area of the attack on the programs and thus obtain very high quality software and help software engineering developers
From improving the confidentiality of systems in advanced stages of the development and maintenance process and providing them with reports on the status of the system before and after the improvement process.
