In order to understand the white box security we need to understand security testing and white box testing. We have already mentioned about security testing. The next section helps to understand White box testing.
White box testing: A white box testing is an approach to validate and verify the design of the system, the underlying code logic involved, the data flow, the control flow, coding practices and error and exception handling capabilities of a system.
So, white box security testing (WBST) can be defined as an approach to verify the code implementation as per design, to validate the implemented security functionality and to uncover the vulnerabilities that can be exploited. |
