Opis: Java Coding Guidelines - David Svoboda, Dean Sutherland, Robert Seacord

"A must-read for all Java developers...Every developer has a responsibility to author code that is free of significant security vulnerabilities. This book provides realistic guidance to help Java developers implement desired functionality with security, reliability, and maintainability goals in mind." -Mary Ann Davidson, Chief Security Officer, Oracle Corporation Organizations worldwide rely on Java code to perform mission-critical tasks, and therefore that code must be reliable, robust, fast, maintainable, and secure. Java(TM) Coding Guidelines brings together expert guidelines, recommendations, and code examples to help you meet these demands. Written by the same team that brought you The CERT(R) Oracle (R) Secure Coding Standard for Java(TM), this guide extends that previous work's expert security advice to address many additional quality attributes. You'll find 75 guidelines, each presented consistently and intuitively. For each guideline, conformance requirements are specified; for most, noncompliant code examples and compliant solutions are also offered. The authors explain when to apply each guideline and provide references to even more detailed information. Reflecting pioneering research on Java security, Java(TM) Coding Guidelines offers updated techniques for protecting against both deliberate attacks and other unexpected events. You'll find best practices for improving code reliability and clarity, and a full chapter exposing common misunderstandings that lead to suboptimal code. With a Foreword by James A. Gosling, Father of the Java Programming Language "This set of Java(TM) Coding Guidelines, a follow-on to the earlier The CERT(R) Oracle Secure Coding Standard for Java(TM), is invaluable. This book could almost be retitled Reliable Java(TM) Coding Guidelines. One of the things that has struck me over the years is the interplay between reliability and security. There are all sorts of explicit security tools-cryptography, authentication, and others-but most break-ins are exploitations of bugs: coding that was badly done or that was insufficiently defensive. Building a reliable system is, in many ways, equivalent to building a secure system. The work you do in reliability pays off in security, and vice versa. "This book highlights the fact that security is not a feature; it is an attitude toward taking due care at every point. It should be a continuous part of every software engineer's design thought process. It is organized around a list of guidelines. The meat of the book is the subtlety behind them. For example, "Store passwords using a hash function" appears to be a very basic and obvious point, and yet there are regular news articles about major data breaches just because some software engineer wasn't thinking. Getting it right is tricky: there are a lot of details for the devil to hide in. This book is full of excellent guidance for dealing with those details." -James A.

Do not attach significance to the ordinal associated with an enum 106 29. Be aware of numeric promotion behavior 108 30. Enable compile-time type checking of variable arity parameter types 112 31. Do not apply public final to constants whose value might change in later releases 115 32. Avoid cyclic dependencies between packages 118 33. Prefer user-defined exceptions over more general exception types 121 34. Try to gracefully recover from system errors 123 35. Carefully design interfaces before releasing them 125 36. Write garbage collection-friendly code 128 Chapter 3: Reliability 131 37. Do not shadow or obscure identifiers in subscopes 132 38. Do not declare more than one variable per declaration 134 39. Use meaningful symbolic constants to represent literal values in program logic 138 40. Properly encode relationships in constant definitions 142 41. Return an empty array or collection instead of a null value for methods that return an array or collection 143 42. Use exceptions only for exceptional conditions 146 43. Use a try-with-resources statement to safely handle closeable resources 148 44. Do not use assertions to verify the absence of runtime errors 151 45. Use the same type for the second and third operands in conditional expressions 153 46. Do not serialize direct handles to system resources 157 47. Prefer using iterators over enumerations 159 48. Do not use direct buffers for short-lived, infrequently used objects 162 49. Remove short-lived objects from long-lived container objects 163 Chapter 4: Program Understandability 167 50. Be careful using visually misleading identifiers and literals 167 51. Avoid ambiguous overloading of variable arity methods 171 52. Avoid in-band error indicators 173 53. Do not perform assignments in conditional expressions 175 54. Use braces for the body of an if, for, or while statement 178 55. Do not place a semicolon immediately following an if, for, or while condition 180 56. Finish every set of statements associated with a case label with a break statement 181 57.
