Learn essential security techniques for designing, developing, and deploying applications for MS Windows and the Web. Visual Basic .NET experts Ed Robinson and Michael Bond introduce critical security concepts using straightforward language and step-by-step examples. You get clear, end-to-end guidance—covering application design, coding techniques, testing methods, and deployment strategies, along with direction on how to help secure the operating system and related infrastructure and services.
For many programmers, security has been something to avoid—because they don’t understand security concepts, they shy away from implementing security features for fear of making a mistake. Above all else, we hope this book will spark your interest in security. This is a fascinating and rapidly evolving area of computing, and the techniques we discuss in this book are no longer simply for security specialists; they are essential for every programmer.
This book is an introduction to security for Visual Basic programmers. You’ll find it useful both as a prescriptive guide for writing secure applications and as a technical reference for how to actually implement security techniques in your own code. For example, in Chapter 1, “Encryption,” we explain what encryption is and when to use the different types of encryption, and we provide examples that show you how to actually encrypt and decrypt information.
