The first security book every Visual Basic .NET developer should read.

Learn the techniques that every developer who works with Visual Basic .NET should know about designing, developing, and developing security-enhanced applications for Microsoft Windows® and the Web. Visual Basic .NET experts Ed Robinson and Mike 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.
Discover how to:
•Design a security-enhanced architecture
•Understand the most common vulnerabilities and how to write code to prevent them
•Implement authentication and authorization techniques in your applications
•Learn techniques for encryption, input validation, and exception handling
•Add Windows, Forms, and Passport authentication to Web applications
•Perform a security threat analysis and implement countermeasures
•Think like a hacker—and uncover security holes
•Create a setup for your application that implements security during installation
•Lock down the Windows operating system, Microsoft IIS, Microsoft SQL Server™, and Microsoft Access databases

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.
Although there is already a wealth of information available about security, very little has been written that targets the Visual Basic programmer. In writing this book, we set out to change this. We have followed three principles that make this book better for the Visual Basic programmer than any other publication you will find on security:
Make it simple Many security publications are shrouded in hard- to-understand jargon and difficult-to-work-out acronyms, and they assume you already have a background in security. This book is different: we spell out every acronym, use easy-to-understand language, and explain in clear terms each security concept.
Clear guidance Some security books explain security techniques without telling you where or where not to use them. This book is different: we offer clear guidance on how, when, and where you should use each security technique.
Complete assistance Although this is an introductory-level book, it covers everything from coding techniques to designing a secure architecture to performing a security audit. Our intention was to provide an end-to-end introductory guide for producing secure applications.
