Welcome to our secure coding guidelines page! These guidelines are designed to help developers write secure and robust code. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced programmer, following these best practices can help protect your applications from common vulnerabilities.

Best Practices

  • Input Validation: Always validate user input to prevent injection attacks.
  • Use Secure Functions: Utilize secure functions provided by your programming language or framework.
  • Keep Software Updated: Regularly update your software to patch known vulnerabilities.
  • Implement Authentication and Authorization: Use strong authentication and authorization mechanisms to protect sensitive data.
  • Use HTTPS: Encrypt data in transit to prevent eavesdropping and tampering.

Examples

Here are some examples of secure coding practices:

  • Input Validation:
    • Avoid using eval() or exec() to execute user input.
    • Use prepared statements for database queries to prevent SQL injection.
  • Use Secure Functions:
    • Use bcrypt for password hashing.
    • Use cryptography libraries for encryption and decryption.
  • Keep Software Updated:
    • Regularly update your operating system, libraries, and dependencies.
  • Implement Authentication and Authorization:
    • Use strong passwords and multi-factor authentication.
    • Implement proper access control mechanisms.
  • Use HTTPS:
    • Obtain an SSL/TLS certificate for your website.
    • Redirect all HTTP traffic to HTTPS.
