To that end, all examples are for current technologies and applications. Using current, real-world examples the book covers basic Concepts of Security Engineering (including examples of systems and failures).The book is a security design manual for embedded systems, the only one of its kind, thought to be a seminal work and controversial in high-level circles because some security experts think the author is giving the bad guys as many secret algorithms as the good guys but that's what you really have to know if you want to build good security systems.Agile Application Security
by Laura Bell
As the fastest growing, most commonly adopted development lifecycle, agile software development enables organizations to react quickly to rapidly changing customer requirements and market conditions without heavy capital investment or long delays. But many people in the software industry believe that this finely tuned balance of processes, patterns, and practices is difficult to integrate with traditional security management techniques. With this practical guide, you’ll learn a range of security tools and techniques specifically adapted to integrate with agile development. These practices aim to bridge the divide between these two worlds and bring security confidence and consciousness without compromising innovation, flexibility, and speed.Alice and Bob Learn Application Security
