.Net Development Security Solutions

The .NET Framework offers new, more effective ways to secure your Web and LAN-based applications. .NET Development Security Solutions uses detailed, code-intensive examples-lots of them-to teach you the right techniques for most scenarios you're likely to encounter. This is not an introduction to security; it's an advanced cookbook that shows experienced programmers how to meet tough security challenges:Recognize and avoid dangerous traps-including holes in .NETWork fluently with both role-based and code access securityMaximize the security advantages of policies and code groupsPromote security using Active DirectorySecure data with .NET cryptographic techniquesMeet the toughest LAN security requirementsTackle special security issues associated with Web and wireless applicationsImplement Win32 API security in managed applicationsUniting this instruction is a coherent, cohesive mindset that will help you take the human factor into account at every step. You'll become technically proficient with all the tools at your disposal-and, at the same time, you'll learn to make your solutions more powerful by crafting them in ways that dovetail with users' needs - and foibles - and anticipate cracker exploits.

The .NET Framework offers new, more effective ways to secure your Web and LAN-based applications. .NET Development Security Solutions uses detailed, code-intensive examples—lots of them—to teach you the right techniques for most scenarios you're likely to encounter. This is not an introduction to security; it's an advanced cookbook that shows experienced programmers how to meet tough security challenges:

• Recognize and avoid dangerous traps—including holes in .NET
• Work fluently with both role-based and code access security
• Maximize the security advantages of policies and code groups
• Promote security using Active Directory
• Secure data with .NET cryptographic techniques
• Meet the toughest LAN security requirements
• Tackle special security issues associated with Web and wireless applications
• Implement Win32 API security in managed applications

Uniting this instruction is a coherent, cohesive mindset that will help you take the human factor into account at every step. You'll become technically proficient with all the tools at your disposal—and, at the same time, you'll learn to make your solutions more powerful by crafting them in ways that dovetail with users' needs—and foibles—and anticipate cracker exploits.

AudienceIntermediate to advanced .NET application developers, who should already understand basics, such as the need to implement security in an application. The reader will also need to know either Visual Basic.NET or Visual C# .NET Read any trade press magazine and you'll likely run into one or two articles that consider the latest security threat, at least one about the latest security break-in, and several concerning the latest virus.
