Abstract

Following several studies conducted by the French Network and Information Security Agency (ANSSI), this paper discusses the question of the intrinsic security characteristics of programming languages. Through illustrations and discussions, it advocates for a different vision of well-known mechanisms and is intended to provide some food for thoughts regarding languages and development tools.
