SecuRoPS Compendium: The Definitive Guide to Secure Software Development for Social Robotics in Public Spaces

The research paper "SecuRoPS: A Secure Software Development Framework for Social Robots in Public Spaces" has created a repository of supplemental materials. This repository is designed to provide software developers, organisations, and other stakeholders with in-depth guidance on the various phases of secure software development specific to social robots in public spaces (SRPS). Each supplemental document within the repository targets a distinct aspect of the SecuRoPS framework, offering actionable insights, best practices, and strategies for an effective approach to security in SRPS.

The supplemental materials cover a wide array of topics, beginning with the identification of stakeholder needs and spanning to the continuous monitoring of deployed robotic systems. These documents reflect research and a toolkit for practical implementation, ensuring that the principles outlined in the SecuRoPS framework are translated into tangible and adequate security measures.

The repository contains the following materials, each with a title that encapsulates its content and utility:
(i) "Guide on Identifying Stakeholders: Their Needs, Roles and Expectation in SRPS Software Development": A guide to understanding stakeholders' diverse roles, expectations, and security requirements in social robot deployment.

(ii) "Comprehensive Social Robot Catalog": An in-depth catalogue showcasing the array of social robots, their manufacturers, and potential applications in public spaces.

(iii) "SRPS Viability Exploration": A document providing methodologies for feasibility and impact assessments of SRPS in varying public environments.

(iv) "Blueprint for SRPS Security": Specifications and guidance on security and other critical requirements for SRPS development.

(v) "SRPS Risk Navigation Manual": A detailed treatise on risk management and threat modelling tailored for SRPS ecosystems.

(vi) "Principles of Secure SRPS Design": Foundational design principles that form the cornerstone of secure SRPS software architecture.

(vii) "SRPS Secure Development Framework Guide": An overview of secure software development frameworks relevant to SRPS, offering a path to robust software creation.

(viii) "SRPS Safety and Security Control Strategies": A manual for implementing comprehensive safety and security measures in SRPS.

(ix) "SRPS Usability and Security Testing Handbook": Guidelines on conducting practical user experience, usability, and security testing for SRPS.

(x) "SRPS Legal Compliance Compendium": A document outlining the legal and regulatory landscape affecting SRPS, providing a checklist for compliance.

(xi) "Strategic SRPS Deployment Playbook": Tactical guidelines for the strategic deployment of SRPS, ensuring secure integration into public spaces.

(xii) "SRPS Maintenance and Improvement Protocols": Continuous monitoring and interactive improvement strategies to maintain and enhance SRPS security post-deployment.
