About the Course

This course introduces you to the principles of secure programming. It begins by discussing the philosophy and principles of secure programming, and then presenting robust programming and the relationship between it and secure programming. We'll go through a detailed example of writing robust code and we'll see many common programming problems and show their connection to writing robust, secure programs in general. We’ll examine eight design principles that govern secure coding and how to apply them to your own work. We’ll discuss how poor design choices drive implementation in coding. We’ll differentiate between informal, formal, and ad hoc coding methods. Throughout, methods for improving the security and robustness of your programs will be emphasized and you will have an opportunity to practice these concepts through various lab activities. A knowledge of the C programming language is helpful, but not required to participate in the lab exercises....

Matt Bishop is an excellent Secure Coding Trainer. I enjoyed the sessions all the way and it was totally engaging with practical examples.

I set 2 stars because of the low quality of information flow. The slides are too poor and it looks that the slides are drawn for tutor but not for students. But for whom the course is implemented: for students or tutor? I am sure that for students. Most of slides are not informative. In many cases it was necessary to re-listen to the part of lecture to find an answer for the tested question. Is it a some kind of English listening test, quick guide to the Principles of Secure Coding or a tool to earn money by coursera via waste of time? For me, I am sure that it is not a quick guide. The information is very useful but flow is bad.

This course focuses mainly on a few code examples in C, which are explained. I would have liked it better if the exercises did not ask for concrete implementations of the examples, but for the general principles behind them and how to apply them.
