Secure Data In Software Development

What it is?

This is about making sure the data is protected as much as possible. Note that this is about protecting data. Most of the case there is nothing called 100% secure data. We should always try our best but can not assume we are fully protected.

Why do we need data security?

It is important to understand that data is the heart of the system. It is quite rare hackers wants to steal software code especially in this open source era. They want to steal the data or tamper them.

In this topic, we protect against,

1. Data Leak
2. Data loss
3. Data inconsistency

Introduction to Software Security

How do we implement data security?

Basically we have two methods?

1. Make the data access as hard as possible
2. If data is stolen, then make it as hard as possible to read it.
