Secured Application Coding Guidelines

The Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) is a not-for-profit worldwide organization focused on improving the security of application software. The aim of the Development Guide from OWASP is to allow businesses, developers, designers and solution architects to produce secure web applications. If done from the earliest stages, secure applications cost about the same to develop as insecure applications, but are far more cost effective in the long run. It provides practical guidance and includes J2EE, ASP.NET, and PHP code samples. The Development Guide covers an extensive array of application-level security issues, from SQL injection through modern concerns such as phishing, credit card handling, session fixation, cross-site request forgeries, compliance, and privacy issues.
