Providing security and privacy to Dynamic Software Product Lines (DSPL) is very challenging. DSPL is becoming the system with high vulnerability in which the security is a difficult task and critical for it to operate. Adaptive security is able to automatically select security mechanisms and their parameters at runtime in order to preserve the required security level in a changing environment. This paper presents a literature review of security adaptation approaches for DSPL, and evaluates them in terms of how well they support critical security services and what level of adaptation they achieve. This work will be done following the Systematic Review approach. Our results concluded that the research field of security approaches for DSPL is still poor of methods and metrics for evaluating and comparing different techniques.
