Product Description

Security is completely different in the .NET framework than it was in older versions of Visual Studio. This Official DevX title from Sybex, leads you through those differences, helps you understand the new rules for .NET security, and helps you fix problems created by holes in the .NET security by using Visual Basic.NET and Visual C#.NET. Perfect for intermediate and advanced .NET application developers who already know Visual Basic.NET or Visual C# .NET, .NET Development Security Solutions emphasizes code over theory and offers real practical solutions to vexing problems. Expert author John Mueller covers the gamut of security-related issues for desktop, server, Web, and wireless environments. More specifically, he focuses on: Avoiding common errors and traps; .NET rule-based security techniques; Validation and verification issues; .NET cryptographic techniques; Web server security; Securing XML and Web pages; Wireless device security.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Author Does a Great Job!, November 16, 2003

By	Rational "Sensible" (High Point, NC USA) - See all my reviews

Security is a large and powerful feature of .NET, but it has largely been ignored in the .NET documentation and in the books written on .NET. Mr. Mueller's book is a welcome explanation of the ins and outs of this important topic. You'll learn how to accomplish what you want to do--thanks to the author's in-depth research, clear writing, and thorough coverage of this increasingly key topic. As a bonus, the book is just plain interesting as well. Don't hesitate to buy this one! It's a real gem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended in depth study of .NET security, February 19, 2004

By A Customer

This is a comprehensive study of .NET security issues; it's written from an topic/issue/solution perspective, with separate chapters addressing role-based security, validation/verification, cryptography, web server security, etc. Highly recommended!
