Here is a site (thx Tom) that I would imagine I’ll be spending a good amount of time on. CERT now has a Secure Coding Standards page on their site.

From CERT:

This web site exists to support the development of secure coding standards for commonly used programming languages such as C and C++. These standards are being developed through a broad-based community effort including the CERT Secure Coding Initiative and members of the software development and software security communities. For a further explanation of this project and tips on how to contribute, please see the Development Guidelines.

As this is a development web site, many of the pages are incomplete or contain errors. If you are interested in furthering this effort, you may comment on existing items or send recommendations to secure-coding at cert dot org.

If you’re a coder with some free time they’re looking for some help. Here are some of the links that they have up already.
