Programming Languages Comparison: Java vs C# Security Features Report

This report provides a comparative analysis of the security features of Java and C# programming languages. It begins with an introduction highlighting the importance of secure programming practices in modern software development. The report then delves into the specific security features of Java, including its security model, bytecode verification, encapsulation, and access control mechanisms. It explores how Java's design helps protect against threats from untrusted sources. Following this, the report examines the security features of C#, emphasizing its object-oriented nature, type-safe code, and static code analysis tools like CxSAST. The report highlights how these features contribute to enhancing the security of C# applications. The report concludes by comparing Java and C#, stating that Java has a better environment, a large community, and better tools, while also being the primary language for Android development. References from various sources are provided to support the analysis.

Introduction
Current programming languages advance framework security by giving various new features that
can deliver strong usage of security policies by new methods. In this way, various new languages
provide certainty to developer in their hidden writing computer programs models' safety,
dependability, just as give adaptable and expressive approaches to decisively indicate and
thoroughly authorize security policies. In this paper, I am considering JAVA and XL and will
compare their security features. (Nino, 2009).
Security Features in Java
The security model of Java is planned in order to protect users from various threatening
programs that are downloaded from some untrusted sites. It can allow to run java projects in the
sandbox which includes perusing as well as writing on local disk, by developing new procedure
or by loading new unique library with the call of native method. (Cygnet Infotech, 2018).
When a Java program is compiled by the user, the Java compiler builds class file by using
Bytecode, that can be tested by the JVM during the execution of program for finding virus or
any other malicious type of files. The encapsulation of Java object helps to provide support for
the very good concept of "programming by contract". It can enable the programmers for re-
utilizing the entire code which was previously used in developing various Java enterprise
applications. The access control functionality of Java on variables as well as methods in the
objects that can provide very secured program by anticipating access from the untrusted code. It
enables designers for declaring classes or methods as FINAL. Hence, the class which is declared
as FINAL can't be overridden. (Cygnet Infotech, 2018).
Security Features in C#

C# is considered as object oriented programming language. OOPS helps to make advancement as
well as maintenance process very easy. The type safe code in C# helps to make language secure.
This can enable to access the memory area that it has permission to execute. It helps to enhance
security feature of the program.
CxSAST which is a static code analysis solution, emerges among C# testing solution as this
solution can keep C# code free from security as well as its consistence issues, and will also act as
tool which will add to the association's headway with regards to application security
development process. CxSAST processes with the tools that the designers use it as it
consistently coordinates with the vast majority of the development programs that is accessible at
each phase of the SDLC. The feature of CxSAST like steady code scanning and the best fix area
made it perfect for any continuous integration continuous development (CICD) environment. If
the vulnerabilities are identified in the C# code, CxSAST won't just distinguish the best fix area,
however will likewise offer assets to the designer to see how the assault vector fill in just as
remediation exhortation which will enable them to guarantee comparable mix-ups are evaded.
(JavaTpoint, 2018).
Best Programming Language
Programming languages are defined as set of commands or tools that can be used to develop an
application. The best programming language mainly depends on the our work and our
requirements. According to above analysis, Java is better programming language as compared to
C# because Java has a substantial and better environment, its community is always advancing,
making new libraries and structure as well as better tools. New emerging languages are
dependent on JVM that are additionally rising like Scala, Groovy and so forth. It is likewise the

fundamental language utilized by Google to produce for Android, which is the biggest mobile
operating system. (EDUCBA, 2018).
