When you use .NET to create client-and server-side applications, you have to address a new and large set of security issues. .NET Security shows you what you need to know by covering the different aspects of the .NET security model through detailed discussions about the key namespaces. The authors not only demonstrate how to write .NET code that can create secure systems within the .NET Framework, but also discuss ways that someone may try to break the security model in .NET, and how .NET prevents such intrusions.

.NET Security is a tutorial about how to use the .NET security and cryptographic classes as well as a reference for any developer who wants to understand how security is implemented in the .NET Framework. The .NET Framework requires understanding in many new areas such as managed code, permissions, and evidence--and this book covers them all.
