The CERT C Secure Coding Standard,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
I'm an enthusiastic supporter of the CERT Secure Coding Initiative. Programmers have lots of sources of advice on correctness, clarity, maintainability, performance, and even safety. Advice on how specific language features affect security has been missing. The CERT(R) C Secure Coding Standard fills this need.'Randy Meyers, Chairman of ANSI C'For years we have relied upon the CERT/CC to publish advisories documenting an endless stream of security problems. Now CERT has embodied the advice of leading technical experts to give programmers and managers the practical guidance needed to avoid those problems in new applications and to help secure legacy systems. Well done!'Dr. Thomas Plum, founder of Plum Hall, Inc.'Connectivity has sharply increased the need for secure, hackersafe applications. By combining this CERT standard with other safety guidelines, customers gain allround protection and approach the goal of zerodefect software.'Chris Tapp, Field Applications Engineer, LDRA Ltd.'I've found this standard to be an indispensable collection of expert information on exactly how modern software systems fail in practice. It is the perfect place to start for establishing internal secure coding guidelines. You won't find this information elsewhere, and, when it comes to software security, what you don't know is often exactly what hurts you.'John McDonald, coauthor of The Art of Software Security AssessmentSoftware security has major implications for the operations and assets of organizations, as well as for the welfare of individuals. To create secure software, developers must know where the dangers lie. Secure programming in C can be more difficult than even many experienced programmers believe.This book is an essential desktop reference documenting the first official release of The CERT(R) C Secure Coding Standard. The standard itemizes those coding errors that are the root causes of software vulnerabilities in C and prioritizes them by severity, likelihood of exploitation, and remediation costs. Each guideline provides examples of insecure code as well as secure, alternative implementations. If uniformly applied, these guidelines will eliminate the critical coding errors that lead to buffer overflows, format string vulnerabilities, integer overflow, and other common software vulnerabilities.
