The CERT® Oracle® Secure Coding Standard for Java (SEI Series in Software Engineering)

The CERT® Oracle® Secure Coding Standard for Java (SEI Series in Software Engineering), 9780321803955 (0321803957), Addison Wesley, 2011

An essential element of secure coding in the Java programming language is a welldocumented and enforceable coding standard. The CERT Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java provides rules for secure coding in the Java programming language. The goal of these rules is to eliminate insecure coding practices that can lead to exploitable vulnerabilities. The application of the secure coding standard leads to higher quality systems that are safe, secure, reliable, dependable, robust, resilient, available, and maintainable and can be used as a metric to evaluate source code for these properties (using manual or automated processes).

This coding standard affects a wide range of software systems developed in the Java programming language.

The CERT Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java focuses on the Java Standard Edition 6 Platform (Java SE 6) environment and includes rules for secure coding using the Java programming language and libraries. The Java Language Specification, 3 rd edition [JLS 2005] prescribes the behavior of the Java programming language and served as the primary reference for the development of this standard. This coding standard also addresses new features of the Java SE 7 Platform. Primarily, these features provide alternative compliant solutions to secure coding problems that exist in both the Java SE 6 and Java SE 7 platforms.
