The widespread adoption of the Internet in the 1990s introduced a new challenge for software engineers—designing and implementing systems that were secure. As more and more systems were connected to the Internet, a variety of different external attacks were devised to threaten these systems. The problems of producing dependable systems were hugely increased. Systems engineers had to consider threats from malicious and technically skilled attackers as well as problems resulting from accidental mistakes in the development process.
It is now essential to design systems to withstand external attacks and to recover from such attacks. Without security precautions, attackers will inevitably compromise a networked system. They may misuse the system ...
