Features: With the widespread adoption of the internet, security issues have become a top priority in the software industry. However, enhancing software security simply by adding security feature modules is far from sufficient—it is essential to keep security principles in mind from the coding stage. This book is a guide for programmers to strengthen software security from within. Written by two security authorities from Microsoft, it begins by examining potential security vulnerabilities and issues in various program codes. Through numerous examples and code snippets, it provides a detailed analysis of all aspects of developing secure applications, offering practical techniques for secure design, secure coding, and testing that are not covered in other documents. The book is comprehensive, with many example codes derived from Microsoft's practical experience, making it highly practical. The accompanying CD-ROM includes a wealth of examples and tools, as well as a complete, searchable electronic version (e-book) of the book's text content.
