OWASP Secure Software Development Lifecycle Project

OWASP Secure Software Development Life Cycle Project is an overall security software methodology for Web and APP developers.

Its aim is to define a standard Secure Software Development Life Cycle and then help developers to know what should be considered or best practices at each phase of a development Life Cycle (e.g. Design Phase/Coding Phase/Maintain Phase/etc.)

Software security has now become a wider concept other than network security. There is a developing common sense that creating secured enough software is not just about individual skills but also or even more on work flows-- Software Development Life Cycle. To achieve security requires to be involved in every phase of a Secure Software Development Life Cycle.

The project’s final goal is to help users to reduce security issues, and raise the overall security level from every stage by using the methodology.

Description

This section must include a shorter description of what the project is, why the project was started, and what security issue is being helped by the project deliverable. This description will be used to promote the project so make sure the description represents your project in the best way possible.

OWASP Secure Software Development Lifecycle Project is an overall security software methodology for Web and APP developers. It defines security software development process as well as guides, tools, and templates of activities in each phase.

Although this is a sample template, the project is real! Please contribute to this project.

Over the course of my career, I have come across and collected a number of security aphorisms. These aphorisms constitute the fundamental principles of information security.

None of the ideas or truths are mine, and unfortunately, I did not collect the citations. Initially, I would like to identify the correct citations for each aphorism.

Additionally, many are re-statements of the same idea; thus, the 'collection of ideas' defines a fundamental principle. As such, I would also like to reverse engineer the principles from the aphorisms where appropriate, as well.

Licensing

A project must be licensed under a community friendly or open source license.  For more information on OWASP recommended licenses, please see OWASP Licenses. While OWASP does not promote any particular license over another, the vast majority of projects have chosen a Creative Commons license variant for documentation projects, or a GNU General Public License variant for tools and code projects.

The OWASP Security Principles are free to use. In fact it is encouraged!!! Additionally, I also encourage you to contribute back to the project. I have no monopoly on this knowledge; however, we all have pieces of this knowledge from our experience. Let's begin by putting our individual pieces together to make something great. Great things happen when people work together.

The OWASP Security Principles are licensed under the http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 license], so you can copy, distribute and transmit the work, and you can adapt it, and use it commercially, but all provided that you attribute the work and if you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may distribute the resulting work only under the same or similar license to this one.

What is OWASP Security Principles Project?

Here you should add a short description of what your project actually does. What is the primary goal of your project, and why is it important?

The end goal is to identify, cite, and document the fundamental principles of information security. Once this is well organised, I think it would be great to publish this through the OWASP Press. Of course, it will always remain freely available, and any money collected will go directly into the project to absorb costs with any remaining funds going to the OWASP Foundation.

This document should serve as a guide to technical architects and designers outlining the fundamental principles of security.

Project Leader

A project leader is the individual who decides to lead the project throughout its lifecycle. The project leader is responsible for communicating the project’s progress to the OWASP Foundation, and he/she is ultimately responsible for the project’s deliverables. The project leader must provide OWASP with his/her real name and contact e-mail address for his/her project application to be accepted, as OWASP prides itself on the openness of its products, operations, and members.
