In computer networking, a proxy server is a server application that acts as an intermediary between a client requesting a resource and the server providing that resource. [1] It improves privacy, security, and performance in the process. Instead of connecting directly to a server that can fulfill a request for a resource, such as a file or web ...
Application security. Application security (short AppSec) includes all tasks that introduce a secure software development life cycle to development teams. Its final goal is to improve security practices and, through that, to find, fix and preferably prevent security issues within applications. It encompasses the whole application life cycle ...
OSGi Service Gateway Architecture. OSGi is a Java framework for developing and deploying modular software programs and libraries. Each bundle is a tightly coupled, dynamically loadable collection of classes, jars, and configuration files that explicitly declare their external dependencies (if any).
Java Card is a software technology that allows Java -based applications ( applets) to be run securely on smart cards and more generally on similar secure small memory footprint devices [1] which are called "secure elements" (SE). Today, a secure element is not limited to its smart cards and other removable cryptographic tokens form factors ...
Secure coding is the practice of developing computer software in such a way that guards against the accidental introduction of security vulnerabilities. Defects, bugs and logic flaws are consistently the primary cause of commonly exploited software vulnerabilities. [1] Through the analysis of thousands of reported vulnerabilities, security ...
Configuration management ( CM) is a systems engineering process for establishing and maintaining consistency of a product's performance, functional, and physical attributes with its requirements, design, and operational information throughout its life. [1] [2] The CM process is widely used by military engineering organizations to manage changes ...
An application-level gateway ( ALG, also known as application layer gateway, application gateway, application proxy, or application-level proxy) is a security component that augments a firewall or NAT employed in a mobile network. [1] [2] It allows customized NAT traversal filters to be plugged into the gateway to support address and port ...
A web application firewall ( WAF) is a specific form of application firewall that filters, monitors, and blocks HTTP traffic to and from a web service. By inspecting HTTP traffic, it can prevent attacks exploiting a web application's known vulnerabilities, such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), file inclusion, and improper system ...
