  1. Software Development and IT Security at NOAA/NESDIS/NODC John Relph and Ken Casey NOAA National Oceanographic Data Center February 2007 http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/sog

  2. Secure Application Design and Implementation • Consider security from the start • Treat security as integral part of overall system design • Difficult and costly to add security after implementation • Applications must be audited before deployment • Standard practice at NODC and NESDIS • Required by Certification and Accreditation (CnA) • Engineer for Simplicity, Reusability, and Modularity • Remove redundancies http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/sog

  3. Follow Standard Practices • NIST Special Publication 800-27A • Engineering Principles for Information Technology Security (A Baseline for Achieving Security) • NIST Special Publication 800-53 • Recommended Security Controls for Federal Information Systems • Developer Standard Practice • Check all inputs for validity • Prevent input from being interpreted as commands • Buffer overflows, format string errors • Perform peer code reviews http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/sog

  4. Process Improvement • How to speed things up? • Perform internal security audits • Include audit history in documentation • Include results of any external audits • How to improve the product? • Use standard library to check all user inputs • Separate user interface from internals • Achieved with OLFS - BES split? http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/sog
