Abstract: Recent experience has shown, that interconnected systems are vulnerable to attacks, if security questions are not met appropriately. In this paper we present selected reasons for the current dissatisfying security level of distributed systems and present selected approaches of making systems secure. We describe our concept for a systematic way of understanding security weaknesses and elaborating efficient solutions.
