Defensive Design and Validation
Implementing input validation, sanitization, and authentication to protect programs from unexpected user behavior.
Key Questions
- 1How can we anticipate and neutralize malicious user input before it reaches the system core?
- 2Why is it impossible to create a perfectly secure program through validation alone?
- 3What are the trade-offs between user convenience and strict data validation?
