et al.
Abstract:Java platform and third-party libraries provide various security features to facilitate secure coding. However, misusing these features can cost tremendous time and effort of developers or cause security vulnerabilities in software. Prior research was focused on the misuse of cryptography and SSL APIs, but did not explore the key fundamental research question: what are the biggest challenges and vulnerabilities in secure coding practices? In this paper, we conducted a comprehensive empirical study on StackOver… Show more
