Secure Coding Guidelines

Secure coding is essential to protect software from vulnerabilities and ensure the safety and reliability of applications. Below are some key guidelines to help you write secure code.

Best Practices

• Input Validation: Always validate user input to prevent injection attacks.
• Least Privilege: Run applications with the least privilege necessary.
• Error Handling: Properly handle errors to avoid exposing sensitive information.
• Secure Authentication: Use strong authentication mechanisms.
• Encryption: Encrypt sensitive data to protect it from unauthorized access.

Example

Here's an example of secure coding in action:

• Avoid Using Raw SQL: Instead, use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection.
• Use HTTPS: Encrypt data in transit to protect user information.
• Regularly Update Libraries: Keep your dependencies up to date to avoid known vulnerabilities.
