"Once regarded as an afterthought, today, security is considered an integral part of software development that must start at the requirements gathering phase. This book covers various aspects of embedding security into an application as it is programmed, using any of the main platforms of today including UNIX, Java, and .NET."@en
"Through the use of examples, this volume defines a myriad of security vulnerabilities and their resultant threats. It details how to do a security requirement analysis and outlines the security development lifecycle. The authors examine security architectures and threat countermeasures for UNIX, .NET, Java, and Web environments. Finally, they explore the security of telecommunications and other distributed services through Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The book employs a versatile multi-platform approach which allows users to seamlessly integrate the material into their own programming paradigm regardless of their individual programming backgrounds. The text also provides real-world code snippets for experimentation."
