This book is not for the Visual Basic beginner If you just picked up Visual Basic for the first time last week, this is not the book for you (yet) This book is written with the assumption... Logs www.it-ebooks.info CHAPTER 1 6 Developing Secure Applications with Visual Basic With the explosion of commerce and business applications on the Internet, whole areas of programming expertise have entered the limelight Just a few short years ago, encryption and application security were areas of programming limited to academic and military programming, along with some Research and Development labs... not the book for you (yet) This book is written with the assumption that you already know your way around Visual Basic and already have a bit of Visual Basic programming experience under your belt However, if you’ve built several applications using Visual Basic and you pretty much know all the basics, you shouldn’t have anything to fear How This Book Is Organized I wrote this book to match the way... thinking You saw this book on the shelf and picked it up out of curiosity, thinking, “Encryption and Visual Basic? Security and Visual Basic? Aren’t these topics normally reserved for the ranks of C/C++ developers?” Well, they used to be, but not anymore Now you can perform these tasks within Visual Basic, without having to dip into any C/C++ code The next question on your mind probably is, “Do I have... languages My, how times have changed! Now, it is possible to use Visual Basic to accomplish these tasks This book is all about exploring how you can use Visual Basic to perform various encryption and application security tasks These are exciting times for Visual Basic programmers! Exploring Encryption One of the key technologies involved with making secure communications possible, especially over the Internet,... secret message 12 Developing Secure Applications with Visual Basic What makes this encryption scheme so secure is that an infinite number of possibilities exists for the key, each of which decrypts the message to a legible message There is no way of knowing whether the message you’ve decrypted is the original message unless you possess the original key sequence For instance, if you start with the message... yourself with building another audit log? If a user is interacting directly with your application, the operating system is not likely to recognize that a security breach has occurred Only your application is in a position to recognize this situation and have the information necessary to identify what happened, who did it, and how it was done 17 18 Developing Secure Applications with Visual Basic For... idea to at least glance at these notes so that you are familiar with what they are trying to convey Of course, there may be a time or two where I just felt like making some unimportant remark that really shouldn’t be part of the main topic, so I’ll mark those as notes, too www.it-ebooks.info 3 4 DEVELOPING SECURE APPLICATIONS WITH VISUAL BASIC CAUTION Warning!
