OWASP Security Labeling System Project
The purpose of this project is creating a transnational and market wise security labeling system.

Introduction
After joining the OWASP community in my local chapter, I got the idea of a security labeling system. When I contacted Jeff williams I found out that he already proposed a very similar idea few years ago. We think we can revive it. The OWASP international community has the purpose of making security visible, and opinions from different sides are crucial in order to create a practical and widely used labeling system.

Description
The system consists on different kinds of OWASP security labels for Web applications and Software. These labels certify that certain product follows

I am thinking about 4 different kinds of OWASP labels ( Please send your proposals):

- Ingredients criterion label (I). This label certifies that the software reveals all software components that integrate the software, or that were used to create it(eg. Shared libraries, APIs, and so on).

- Security 'good enough' criterion label (S). This would be the standard certification label. This label certifies that the software is 'good enough' because follows good security practices in its development life cycle, updates and security patches(Eg. OWASP Top Ten, the AVSV Security and verification standard, security control programming interfaces as OWASP ESAPIs).

- Legal 'good enough' criterion label (L). This is an additional label in case that the contract  includes  security software clauses following the OWASP principles.The OWASP legal principles would be based in the OWASP secure contract annex, and perhaps a soft law document containing  relevant legal issues such as third party source code, Privacy, Data protection, and so forth.

- Disclosure of vulnerabilities criterion label (D). This label consists in the open disclosure of vulnerabilities of the software or Web Applications to the users.
