Abstract
A developer writing a software program provides security for the program being prepared by interposing a special security layer in front of the standard library being utilized for writing the program. A security header and security file are incorporated in the software which automatically reroutes standard library calls through the special security layer prior to putting the calls through to the standard library files.
