Beschreibung
Security is an area of increasing and grave concern to programmers. Software developers today need to worry about security as never before. They need clear guidance on safe coding practices, and that’s exactly what this book delivers. This is not a book that goes deep into theory, or that rants on about the politics of security. Instead, it clearly and simply lays out the most common threats that programmers need to defend against. The book 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. The lead author is behind the Stanford Center for Professional Development Computer Security Certification. The book is written to appeal to all programmers, not just those using a particular language. It introduces programmers to the entire gamut of security threats that they might face, and sets those programmers on the path towards successfully defending against those threats.
Security breaches are putting programmers under pressure in regards to security as never before (why programmers will be interested) The book gives clear and straightforward advice to programmers, giving them the 20% that they need to achieve 90% of the benefit (why they will buy) Lead author is behind the Stanford Center for Professional Development Computer Security Certification (why the author has credibility)

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)
