Jason Bock demonstrates to the reader how to write .NET code so that he can create secure systems with the .NET Framework. The authors also discuss ways that someone may try to break the security model in .NET, and how .NET prevents such intrusions.

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 different aspects of the .NET security model through detailed discussions about the key namespaces. The authors demonstrate how to write .NET code to create secure systems within the .NET Framework. They also discuss possible break-ins to the security model in .NET--and how .NET prevents such intrusions. This tutorial explains how to use the .NET security and cryptographic classes, and functions as a reference manual for developers seeking to understand security implementation in the .NET Framework. Additionally, the .NET Framework requires understanding in many new areas like managed code, permissions, and evidence--all of which this dynamic book covers.
