SecureChange (Security Engineering for Lifelong Evolvable Systems) is a research project funded by the European Union under the 7th Framework Programme. SecureChange s objective is to develop techniques and tools that ensure "lifelong" compliance to evolving security, privacy and dependability requirements for a long-running evolving software system.Traditionally, the issue of software quality - the degree to which a software system meets its requirements - was addressed during design time through systematic design processes and supporting tools. However, for several application domains (e.g. smart cards or air traffic management) this approach is not sufficient.
