Software security can be tricky when it comes to requirements, 
mostly because customers and consumers don't explicitly demand
security, rather they impicitly expect it.

Wait a second here, don't customers also implicitly expect that the
software is going to run? I mean I haven't seen a requirements document
_ever_ that has said "The software must start.". They just implicitly
expect that its going to do that.

Doesn't seem like a big surprise that most customers will _expect_ that
"Hey, I don't want this software pwnable after you're done with it."

Not sure where the trickiness you are referring to comes from?

ps. Didn't AW publish your book(s)? :) I would be real surprised
[turning on Tom Ptaceks snarky bit] if there's any mention of them.
