Study Notes
- Correct algorithm implementation is important to avoid bugs that could be exploited.
- Predictable sequence numbers in TCP/IP implementations can enable attacks.
- Additional code included for testing and debugging may remain in production and compromise security.
- Ensuring machine language corresponds to the algorithm is often ignored by programmers.
- High assurance level checking is required for computer systems at Common Criteria assurance level of EAL 7.
- Data interpretation depends on machine instruction executed and different languages provide different capabilities for restricting and validating interpretation of data.
- Strongly typed languages are safer compared to languages like C that allow more liberal interpretation of data.
- Race conditions can lead to values being corrupted or changes lost due to overlapping access.
- Synchronization of accesses is required to prevent race conditions.
- Deadlock can occur when processes or threads wait on a resource held by each other.
