The OWASP Security Controls in Web Application Development Lifecycle
Security needs to be embedded right from the initials to release a secure end deliverable. This project aims at delivering security controls right from the requirements,design,development,testing,release,maintenance and decommission.

Description
Vision of this project is to demonstrate the implementation of OWASP's secure design and development guidelines as working applications in all leading programming languages and platforms including .NET, JAVA, PHP, Android, iPhone, etc. All the dummy applications will be available as Fully Vulnerable and Fully Secure versions.

Vulnerable version will highlight the application security vulnerabilities, and can be used for Hands-on practice for application VAPT.

Secure version of the same application will map OWASP's security development guidelines in the code files, demonstrating secure coding.

User's can not only use the vulnerable apps for VAPT practice, but they will very easily be able to compare the vulnerable code with the secure code, from the secure version of the same application.

Developers will also be able to pick up security libraries from our secure version of the applications, to use them in their own applications and projects.

Project Leader
A project leader is the individual who decides to lead the project throughout its lifecycle. The project leader is responsible for communicating the project’s progress to the OWASP Foundation, and he/she is ultimately responsible for the project’s deliverables. The project leader must provide OWASP with his/her real name and contact e-mail address for his/her project application to be accepted, as OWASP prides itself on the openness of its products, operations, and members.

=FAQs=

Many projects have "Frequently Asked Questions" documents or pages. However, the point of such a document is not the questions. The point of a document like this are the answers. The document contains the answers that people would otherwise find themselves giving over and over again. The idea is that rather than laboriously compose and post the same answers repeatedly, people can refer to this page with pre-prepared answers. Use this space to communicate your projects 'Frequent Answers.'

How can I participate in your project?
All you have to do is make the Project Leader's aware of your available time to contribute to the project. It is also important to let the Leader's know how you would like to contribute and pitch in to help the project meet it's goals and milestones. There are many different ways you can contribute to an OWASP Project, but communication with the leads is key.

If I am not a programmer can I participate in your project?
Yes, you can certainly participate in the project if you are not a programmer or technical. The project needs different skills and expertise and different times during its development. Currently, we are looking for researchers, writers, graphic designers, and a project administrator.

= Road Map and Getting Involved =

A project roadmap is the envisioned plan for the project. The purpose of the roadmap is to help others understand where the project is going. It gives the community a chance to understand the context and the vision for the goal of the project. Additionally, if a project becomes inactive, or if the project is abandoned, a roadmap can help ensure a project can be adopted and continued under new leadership.

Roadmaps vary in detail from a broad outline to a fully detailed project charter. Generally speaking, projects with detailed roadmaps have tended to develop into successful projects. Some details that leaders may consider placing in the roadmap include: envisioned milestones, planned feature enhancements, essential conditions, project assumptions, development timelines, etc. You are required to have at least 4 milestones for every year the project is active.

As of October 2013, the priorities are:
 * Finish the referencing for each principle.
 * Update the Project Template.
 * Use the OWASP Press to develop a book.
 * Finish and publish the book on Lulu.

Involvement in the development and promotion of the OWASP Security Principles Project is actively encouraged! You do not have to be a security expert in order to contribute. Some of the ways you can help:
 * Helping find references to some of the principles.
 * Project administration support.
 * Wiki editing support.
 * Writing support for the book.

=Project About=

This page is where you need to place your legacy project template page if your project was created before October 2013. To edit this page you will need to edit your project information template. You can typically find this page by following this address and substituting your project name where it says "OWASP_Example_Project". When in doubt, ask the OWASP Projects Manager.
