Abstract
When researchers on the CERT Secure Coding Team began writing the CERT Oracle Coding Standard for Java, they thought that Java would require fewer secure coding rules than the CERT C Coding Standard because Java was designed with security in mind. However, Java has 168 coding rules compared to just 116 for C. Why? Svoboda analyzes secure coding rules for both C and Java to determine if they indeed refute the conventional wisdom that Java is more secure than C. The bulletin includes a link to the podcast.
