Just wanted to clarify that STRIDE is a threat classification model, not a
threat model in and of itself. DREAD (another MS by-product) is a similar
classification model to classify threats by risk priority. STRIDE is
generally used as part of the security centric approach and DREAD for an
asset or risk centric approach so we should exclude from the OWASP
methodology and gravitate more around the SDL-IT tools and materials
provided by Microsoft *IF* (please not the emphasis on that word) we want to
map or correlate ours with theirs. Not advocating that, just sayin'.

Guys - I have updated the wiki page with the mission statement.

https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Threat_Modelling_Project

I want to start with the steps to define methodology. I know we have
taxonomy as the first step but I would like to take it after we have the
methodology defined. That way, we won't be wasting time on words that we may
not be using initially.

If everyone agrees, we can start identifying different components of the
methodology.


Thanks,
