Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Secure by design, in software engineering, means that the software has been designed from the ground up to be secure. Malicious practices are taken for granted and care is taken to minimize impact when a security vulnerability is discovered or on invalid user input. Generally, designs that work well do not rely on being secret. It is not mandatory, but proper security usually means that everyone is allowed to know and understand the design because it is secure. This has the advantage that many people are looking at the code, and this improves the odds that any flaws will be found sooner (Linus's law). Of course, attackers can also obtain the code, which makes it easier for them to find vulnerabilities as well.
