🔐 Dive into Rust's security features with example codes from a university presentation at Technische Hochschule Georg Simon Ohm, covering topics like safe concurrency, error handling, and zero-cost abstractions.

Rust Software Security Features Demo 🛡️🦀

Welcome to the GitHub repository for the Rust Software Security Features demonstration, presented at Technische Hochschule Georg Simon Ohm! This repo contains all the example code shown during the presentation, allowing you to dive deep into the features that make Rust a uniquely secure language for software development.

📖 Overview

This repository is structured to reflect the flow of the presentation, showcasing various security features in Rust through dedicated modules. Explore the code to see Rust's approach to memory safety, concurrency, and more in action!

📚 Contents

1. Static Types 🔒

• Enforcing Safety: Dive into how Rust handles type safety and enforces explicit management of types with examples from the static_types module.

2. Integer Overflow 📉

• Preventing Overflows: Explore how Rust prevents common security vulnerabilities related to integer overflow through the integer_overflow module.

3. Zero-Cost Abstractions 🚀

• Efficient Patterns: See how Rust's zero-cost abstractions like iterators and message passing help write efficient code that's also secure with the zero_cost_abstraction module.

4. Error Handling 🛠️

• Graceful Failures: Discover Rust's approach to robust error handling without exceptions by using the error_handling module.

5. Ownership and Borrowing 🤲

• Memory Safety: Learn about Rust's innovative ownership model that guarantees memory safety without a garbage collector in the borrowing module.

6. Lifetime Tracking ⏳

• Managing Lifetimes: Understand how Rust uses lifetimes to prevent dangling references and ensure safe memory access with the lifetime_tracking module.

7. Safe Concurrency 🧵

• Concurrency without Data Races: Check out how Rust handles concurrency safely, making data races a thing of the past, in the safe_concurrency module.
