The SEI CERT Coding Standards are software coding standards developed by the CERT Coordination Center to improve the safety, reliability, and security of software systems. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Individual standards are offered for C , C++ , Java , Android OS , and Perl .
The Joint Strike Fighter project C++ Coding Standards [3] are based on MISRA-C:1998. The NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory C Coding Standards [ 4 ] are based on MISRA-C:2004. IEC 81001-5-1:2021 Health software and health IT systems safety, effectiveness and security - Part 5-1: Security - Activities in the product lifecycle cites MISRA C as an ...
The CERT/CC provides a number of free tools to the security research community. [10] Some tools offered include the following. CERT Tapioca—a pre-configured virtual appliance for performing man-in-the-middle attacks. This can be used to analyze network traffic of software applications and determine if the software uses encryption correctly, etc.
The rules are intended to eliminate certain C coding practices which make code difficult to review or statically analyze. These rules are a complement to the MISRA C guidelines and have been incorporated into the greater set of JPL coding standards .
Coding conventions are only applicable to the human maintainers and peer reviewers of a software project. Conventions may be formalized in a documented set of rules that an entire team or company follows, [1] or may be as informal as the habitual coding practices of an individual. Coding conventions are not enforced by compilers.
Seacord began programming professionally for IBM in 1984, working in processor development, then communications and operating system software, and software engineering. He led the Secure Coding Initiative in the CERT Division of Carnegie Mellon University's Software Engineering Institute (SEI) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania until 1991, working on the User Interface Project.

Secure coding is the practice of developing computer software in such a way that guards against the accidental introduction of security vulnerabilities. Defects, bugs and logic flaws are consistently the primary cause of commonly exploited software vulnerabilities. [ 1 ]
LDRA is a contributor to several industry standards, including DO-178C, [18] MISRA C [19] and MISRA C++. [20] Additionally, LDRA is an Industry Partner [21] for the CERT C Secure Coding Standard [22] produced by the Computer Emergency Response Team at Carnegie Mellon's Software Engineering Institute.
