Privacy and Security Secure Development Tools and Techniques Need More Research that Will Increase Their Impact and Effectiveness in Practice

Abstract

WRITING CODE THAT is secure, and provides security without vulnerabilities, is a critical challenge to cybersecurity. Writing code without vulnerabilities has long been at least as difficult as writing code without bugs. While there are many other potential sources of security exposures in software, developing code without known classes of vulnerabilities has always seemed like a tractable goal.
