Book description
Despite their myriad manifestations and different targets, nearly all attacks on computer systems have one fundamental cause: the code used to run far too many systems today is not secure. Flaws in its design, implementation, testing, and operations allow attackers all-too-easy access. Secure Coding, by Mark G. Graff and Ken vanWyk, looks at the problem of bad code in a new way. Packed with advice based on the authors' decades of experience in the computer security field, this concise and highly readable book explains why so much code today is filled with vulnerabilities, and tells readers what they must do to avoid writing code that can be exploited by attackers. Beyond the technical, Secure Coding sheds new light on the economic, psycholo... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
This tutorial on C provides reasonably clear explanations, and examples at each step. It does not provide much rationale for the use of specific functions, nor much in the way of real-world usage. It would be best for those familiar with programming and wanting some transfer information. copyright Robert M. Slade, 1997

Review:
A "Short Description of the Book" states that it is intended to address the issue of whether various crypto algorithms are "practical," as opposed to just theoretically strong. This seems odd, since no algorithm is ready for implementation as such: it must be made part of a full system, and most problems with cryptography come in the implementation. The preface doesn't make things much clearer: it reiterates a "fit-for-application" mantra, but doesn't say clearly, at any point, why existing algorithms are not appropriate for use. The preface also suggests that this book is for advanced study in cryptography, although it states that security engineers and administrators, with special responsibility for developing or implementing cryptogr...
