"Bumper sticker" definition of secure software
I've been struggling for a while to synthesise a
definition of secure software that is short and sweet, yet accurate and
comprehensive.
My favorite is by Ivan Arce, CTO of Core Software, coming out of a
discussion between him and I on a mailing list about 5 years ago.
Reliable software does what it is supposed to do. Secure
software does what it is supposed to do, and nothing else.
