Foundations of Security (eBook, PDF)

What Every Programmer Needs to Know

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Software developers need to worry about security as never before. They need clear guidance on safe coding practices, and that's exactly what this book delivers. The book does not delve deep into theory, or rant about the politics of security. Instead, it clearly and simply lays out the most common threats that programmers need to defend against. It then shows programmers how to make their defense. The book takes a broad focus, ranging over SQL injection, worms and buffer overflows, password security, and more. It sets programmers on the path towards successfully defending against the entire gamut of security threats that they might face.

Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"It is written based on a course for beginning programmers. ... The book has three main parts: security design principles, secure programming techniques, and an introduction to cryptography. ... Exercises are included at the end of each part in order to provide suggestions for getting hands-on experience." (A. Mariën, ACM Computing Reviews, Vol. 49 (5), May, 2008)
