About the Course

This course introduces you to the principles of secure programming. It begins by discussing the philosophy and principles of secure programming, and then presenting robust programming and the relationship between it and secure programming. We'll go through a detailed example of writing robust code and we'll see many common programming problems and show their connection to writing robust, secure programs in general. We’ll examine eight design principles that govern secure coding and how to apply them to your own work. We’ll discuss how poor design choices drive implementation in coding. We’ll differentiate between informal, formal, and ad hoc coding methods. Throughout, methods for improving the security and robustness of your programs will be emphasized and you will have an opportunity to practice these concepts through various lab activities. A knowledge of the C programming language is helpful, but not required to participate in the lab exercises....

Matt Bishop is an excellent Secure Coding Trainer. I enjoyed the sessions all the way and it was totally engaging with practical examples.

This course focuses mainly on a few code examples in C, which are explained. I would have liked it better if the exercises did not ask for concrete implementations of the examples, but for the general principles behind them and how to apply them.

Example are developed using C language & even some questions are asking about C functions.

The concepts are good but the examples are in C and not much useful.

We're now programming in the 2020s, not 1990s. Please update.

While the course covered a lot of important topics , there wasn't any depth in the course.

The professor skimmed through the concepts without discussing any practical implications / examples.

Computer Science should be thought in code & algos , not a bunch of slides strung togheter for the sake of it.
