Domain-Driven Design for Secure Code
With the ever-growing software ecosystem, attributes for successful product are performance, security, maintainability, and usability. When it comes to delivering product the priorities are quality assurance, time to market and it need to stay within budget. The security-related tasks in the backlog keep getting lower priority compared to the business functionality. After all, time is tight, and it doesn’t matter if the system is secure if the features the users need are not there.
With the traditional approach, the security review identifies vulnerabilities that are severe and must be addressed before deploying to production. This sets your project back by a few weeks, or maybe even months eventually resulting in lost revenue. To create secure software efficiently and effortlessly, it is important to focus more on design rather than security as an afterthought.
Design considerations
While writing code, careful attention is applied to represent business logic, which is the functionality that makes the product unique, build code explicitly and easy to maintain. While modeling our business domain, considerable amount of time is spent in evolving and refining domain model and how it will be represented in code. For example, consider aspects such as readability or performance, based on preferences, decide on how we are going to write the code in that statement. Based on experience and knowledge to actively make choices appropriate to the software built. These choices are part of what determines the design of the software.
The design is the guiding principle for how a system is built and is applicable on all levels, from code to architecture. The activities that involve conscious decision-making involved in software development are an integral part of the design proces ..
