With the Friendmakers we offer possibilities to communicate with people. Key aspects of our systems are specifically designed to avoid common vulnerabilities in other systems.
We use the highly secure and error-tolerant Erlang programming language. In this way we avoid common security holes that often appear in other systems. Erlang is specifically designed to implement fault-tolerant systems that don't stop.
Many of these design choices have a direct impact on safety. For example, co-running processes cannot share memory, so private information cannot be accidentally leaked. The security of Erlang/OTP is excellent. The Erlang/OTP environment has experienced only three CVE vulnerabilities in recent years, compared to over 30,000 for Sun JRE (Java).
We prefer to store as minimum data as possible. Data that is not used for a long time is automatically deleted by Friendmakers after a warning to the user.
If the connection with your friends is secured via SSL, the connection with the relations/clients is also secured via SSL.
We use a security access manager based on ACLs and security policies.
Our developers follow the OWASP (Open Web Application Security) guidelines.
