Features: In the not-too-distant future, if the products we develop continue to be vulnerable and easily compromised, constantly leading to major disasters and causing losses to customers and society, they will inevitably be by history and the market. What should we do? Let's start with ourselves and start now, focusing on security issues and learning safe programming techniques. The feature articles in this issue introduce various aspects of practical security technologies and knowledge, aiming to showcase the richness of this field. The year 2003 is about to draw to a close. For ourselves, this is a year that should be recorded in history—the birth of Software Development and its rapid growth. For our industry, what will be the hot topics of the future? Agility? Services? Grids? Wireless? Gaming? Our choice is—security. In real life, safety is closely related to everyone, and many of us often say, "Be careful!" However, in our software development industry, long-term attention to safety has been far from sufficient. This can be evidenced by Dr. Dobb’s Journal.
