With the spread of web-enabled desktop clients and web-server based applications,
developers can no longer afford to treat security as an afterthought. It's one
topic, in fact, that .NET forces you to address, since Microsoft has placed security-related
features at the core of the .NET Framework. Yet, because a developer's carelessness
or lack of experience can still allow a program to be used in an unintended way,
Programming .NET Security shows you how the various tools will help you
write secure applications.
The book works as both a comprehensive tutorial and reference to security issues
for .NET application development, and contains numerous practical examples in
both the C# and VB.NET languages. With Programming .NET Security, you will
learn to apply sound security principles to your application designs, and to understand
the concepts of identity, authentication and authorization and how they apply
to .NET security. This guide also teaches you to:
- use the .NET run-time security features and .NET security namespaces and
types to implement best-practices in your applications, including evidence,
permissions, code identity and security policy, and role based and Code Access
Security (CAS) use the .NET cryptographic APIs , from hashing and common encryption
algorithms to digital signatures and cryptographic keys, to protect your data.
- use COM+ component services in a secure manner
If you program with ASP.NET will also learn how to apply security to your applications.
And the book also shows you how to use the Windows Event Log Service to audit
Windows security violations that may be a threat to your solution.
Authors Adam Freeman and Allen Jones, early .NET adopters and long-time proponents
of an "end-to-end" security model, based this book on their years of experience
in applying security policies and developing products for NASDAQ, Sun Microsystems,
Netscape, Microsoft, and others. With the .NET platform placing security at center
stage, the better informed you are, the more secure your project will be.

ALERT - This is a must have book!!
You really are not a true .NET Programmer until you understand the security mechanisms that are part and parcel with the framework. To program in .NET (or really any component-oriented technology) without security in mind is like parachuting without one strapped to your back. I was waiting for a book like this. Before this book I've had to scour over the internet to try to find out how to get the different areas of security in .NET to work. Now its all here in one book. The theory, the explanations, the warnings, the samples. If you are a serious .NET programmer or .NET policy administrator then this is a must have book. If you dont know the difference between host evidence and assembly evidence, then you need this book. If you dont know the difference between a security demand and a permission request, then you are dangerous to the people you do work for. Also, make sure you know the basics already of the language and the framework since this book assumes you do. Good luck.
