Security engineering is the field of engineering dealing in developing detailed engineering designs for security systems and for security of spaces. It is similar to systems engineering in that its motivation is to make a system meet requirements, but with the added dimension of enforcing a security policy. It has existed as an informal field for centuries, in the fields of locksmithing and security printing.
Security engineering involves a wide variety of aspects; ranging from social science (namly Human behaviour pattern understanding), psychology, economics, Landscape design, physics, chemistry and mathematics.
Some of the techniques used, such as fault tree analysis, are derived from safety engineering. Other techniques such as cryptography were previously restricted to military applications. One of the pioneers of security engineering as a formal field of study is Ross Anderson.
