In computer science, language-based security (LBS) is a set of techniques that may be used to strengthen the security of applications on a high level by using the properties of programming languages. LBS is considered to enforce computer security on an application-level, making it possible to prevent vulnerabilities which traditional operating ...
Like natural languages, programming languages follow rules for syntax and semantics. There are thousands of programming languages [ 1 ] and new ones are created every year. Few languages ever become sufficiently popular that they are used by more than a few people, but professional programmers may use dozens of languages in a career.
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]
This is an index to notable programming languages, in current or historical use. Dialects of BASIC, esoteric programming languages, and markup languages are not included. A programming language does not need to be imperative or Turing-complete, but must be executable and so does not include markup languages such as HTML or XML, but does include domain-specific languages such as SQL and its ...
By using the assistance of specific hardware, the library can achieve greater speeds and/or improved security than otherwise. Smart card, SIM, HSM protocol support [ edit ]
Secure programming is the subset of defensive programming concerned with computer security. Security is the concern, not necessarily safety or availability (the software may be allowed to fail in certain ways). As with all kinds of defensive programming, avoiding bugs is a primary objective; however, the motivation is not as much to reduce the ...
The CCS Injection Vulnerability (CVE-2014-0224) is a security bypass vulnerability that results from a weakness in OpenSSL methods used for keying material. [ 80 ] This vulnerability can be exploited through the use of a man-in-the-middle attack, [ 81 ] where an attacker may be able to decrypt and modify traffic in transit.
