Abstract
ESAPI is an open source API, which pulls together all the security methods that
a developer needs to build a secure web application. The API is language
independent but comes with a reference implementation written in Java.
Developers can use this API and build their own implementation using their
company's infrastructure, or, they can use the fully functional reference
implementation as a starting point.
The cost savings through reduced development time, and the increased security
due to using heavily analyzed and carefully designed security methods provide
developers with a massive advantage over developers that are trying to deal with
security using existing ad hoc secure coding techniques. This API is designed to
automatically take care of many aspects of application security, making these
issues invisible to the developers.
