Abstract
Privacy is considered a necessary requirement for software development. It is necessary to understand how certain software vulnerabilities can create problems for organizations and individuals. In this context, privacy-oriented software development plays a primary role to reduce some problems that can arise simply from individuals’ interactions software applications, even when the data being processed is not directly linked to identifiable. The loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability at some point in the data processing, such as data theft by external attackers or the unauthorized access or use of data by employees., represent some types of cybersecurity-related privacy events. Therefore, this research work discusses the formalization of 5 key privacy elements (Privacy by Design Principles, Privacy Design Strategies, Privacy Pattern, Vulnerabilities and Context) in software development and presents a privacy tool that supports developers’ decisions to integrate privacy and security requirements in all software development phases.
