Features: With the development of the Internet, computer security has rapidly become a critical issue. As security becomes the responsibility of all IT professionals, companies must also reconsider how software is constructed to ensure it is protected in critical applications while maintaining data integrity and privacy. In this pioneering work, the author explores system security architecture from the perspective of software engineering. The book emphasizes that strong security should be a guiding principle in the development process, describes how to integrate security into the system architecture, and showcases common implementation patterns used in most security products. This book is a groundbreaking work that examines system security architecture from the perspective of software engineering. It describes how to implement security in computer system architecture and introduces common patterns used in most security products. It also provides in-depth discussions on security principles, software processes, and security technologies related to encryption, applications, databases, and operating systems. The intended audience for this book is software architects and engineers responsible for integrating security products into applications to meet enterprise security needs. For other readers interested in security and software engineering, this book can also serve as a basic reference.
