The Special Case of Data Protection and Self-Adaptation

In this extended abstract, we consider one important aspect of security: the protection of sensitive data from unauthorized access. We argue that (i) self-adaptation may facilitate the efficient protection of sensitive data; (ii) data protection has peculiar properties that make its treatment different from other quality attributes; and (iii) data protection should be considered in combination with other quality attributes like performance and costs.
