What we really need is a simple security lib that can easily be retro-fitted to the majority of applications. The application's code wouldn't have to change, as it would be "wrapped" or protected by the "security" library. ie:
#include <sb.h>
(void) init_secure();
// do stuff
(void) done_secure();
I mean, we've put a man on the moon, but we can't make a software library with a simple interface that solves all of our problems? Puh-leeze! I think the many-eyeballed monster that is the open-source commu
and how would this work? You would have to run the c code within some kind of sandbox for this to work, intepreted style. Why not just go for java or c# then. There's no way you can just 'add' security by a function call to a lib. c/c++ doesn't work like that.
