| Research Abstract |
In this research study, we focused on the impact of program modifications(source code changes) on security characteristics of software, and proposed a criterion assessing the changes of accessibility of data stored in the target program. With this criterion, we achieved success in developing a novel tool that implements security-aware refactoring. It provides information so that programmers can easily know the impact of the applied refactoring on the security vulnerabilities of the modified code.
