With the spread of web-enabled desktop clients and web-server based applications, developers can no longer afford to treat security as an afterthought. It's one topic, in fact, that .NET forces you to address, since Microsoft has placed security-related features at the core of the .NET Framework. Yet, because a developer's carelessness or lack of experience can still allow a program to be used in an unintended way, Programming .NET Security shows you how the various tools will help you write secure applications.
The book works as both a comprehensive tutorial and reference to security issues for .NET application development, and contains numerous practical examples in both the C# and VB.NET languages. With Programming .NET Security, you will learn to apply sound security principles to your application designs, and to understand the concepts of identity, authentication and authorization and how they apply to .NET security. This guide also teaches you to:
- use the .NET run-time security features and .NET security namespaces and types to implement best-practices in your applications, including evidence, permissions, code identity and security policy, and role based and Code Access Security (CAS) use the .NET cryptographic APIs , from hashing and common encryption algorithms to digital signatures and cryptographic keys, to protect your data.
- use COM+ component services in a secure manner
If you program with ASP.NET will also learn how to apply security to your applications. And the book also shows you how to use the Windows Event Log Service to audit Windows security violations that may be a threat to your solution.
Authors Adam Freeman and Allen Jones, early .NET adopters and long-time proponents of an "end-to-end" security model, based this book on their years of experience in applying security policies and developing products for NASDAQ, Sun Microsystems, Netscape, Microsoft, and others. With the .NET platform placing security at center stage, the better informed you are, the more secure your project will be.

Free Programming .NET Security
Programming .NET Security covers 2 major topics of .NET Security: Code Access Security (CAS) and Cryptography. (CAS) was highly advertised feature of .NET when first editions of framework were released. Main goal of CAS was to provide highly configurable way how to protect your applications against malicious code. CAS as it was designed became quite complex and the book did a great job to explain how it works and how can be configured. Part 2 is mostly devoted into this technology. Unfortunately complexity of CAS forced Microsoft to change it substantially. Form .NET version 4.0 many parts of CAS are deprecated now. Especially Security Policy which was completely removed from the framework. So chapters 8 and 9 dealing about Security Policy are obsolete now. Chapter 6 Evidence and Code Identity is partly valid (Evidences are still part of .NET but because of Security Policy removal their importance is lower). Chapter 7 dealing with Permissions is mostly valid - just few methods of Permission class became obsolete. Chapters 10 and 11 (Role-Based Security, Isolated Storage) are completely valid in .NET 4.5 and provide good intro into these technologies.
Part 3 is all about Cryptography. This is the most useful part of the book covering Hashing, Symmetric and Asymmetric algorithms, Key exchange and Digital signatures. All cryptography classes presented in the book are part of latest edition of framework just few more algorithms have been added. Cryptography chapters are not useful just for their API coverage, but also because they provide excellent introduction to cryptography itself. Algorithms are presented in understandable way with nice, clean figures.
Part 4 is about security aspects of ASP.NET, COM+ and Log service. Honestly just last chapter (Log service) is useful.
