In this follow-up to their previous work on writing secure code, security experts Howard and LeBlanc focus on the newest operating system to come from Redmond, Washington. Writing for developers, they start with the basics, namely instituting code quality, setting up user account control, learning about tokens and integrity levels, running buffer overrun defenses, networking defenses, creating secure and resilient services, preparing Internet Explorer 7 defenses, using cryptographic enhancements, conducting authentication and authorization, and making best use of miscellaneous defenses and security-related technologies. The authors provide a wealth of examples and samples along with references for each chapter and a series of practical tips. Particularly interesting is the section on adding parental controls support to applications.
