Abstract: Security patterns are the best practices to solve recurring security problems in specific contexts. Finding the appropriate classification scheme for security patterns is still an obstacle encountered by architects where existing classifications considered only as a small number of patterns, and their purpose is often focused on implementation issues. Therefore, missing aspects in existing classifications are identified, and a new classification scheme we proposed based on Microsoft organizing table integrated with a certain criteria?s Performance, Implementation Cost and Security Degree.
