Abstract: In this paper we examine a method for identifying privacy requirements within the context of a security requirements engineering method. We briefly describe the security quality requirements engineering (SQUARE) methodology. Next we discuss our definition of privacy and the associated privacy concerns. We discuss the challenges of privacy requirements engineering and the need for incorporating privacy considerations into security requirements engineering approaches. We describe a novel modification to the SQUARE method and tool to incorporate privacy considerations, and identify future work that will lead to a more integrated method for security and privacy requirements engineering.

Keywords: software security engineering; privacy requirements; security requirements engineering; security quality requirements.
