Answer 1

• Here are few elements used in secure coding.

1. Simple Code: Always keep your code as simple as possible so as to avoid making any mistakes(vulnerable to attacks) in very complex code structures and it also lessen the room for a security threat, the more simple the code the high security you can provide.
2. Pay attention to warnings: Always pay careful attention or take notice of the warnings given by compiler and change the code accordingly. Use various tools to have an in-depth analysis of code.As a small warning can turn out to be a big security threat later.
3. Make strong defense: Always make a strong defensive strategies so that if there is a failure of your defense at one layer the second layer can protect from any security threat.Defense in Depth is a approach in cybersecurity in which various layers of security is there so that if one layer fails other protects the application/software from breaking.
4. Validation: Always confirm/validate the sources your code interact with , the data they are providing as they can be some kind of attack and it makes our software vulnerable to attack.
