CSSLP domain help?!?!?!
Got this email today from (ISC)2 regarding CSSLP:
I have a question regarding the domains though, for example domain 1:
Key Areas of Knowledge
A. Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability
B. Authentication, Authorization, and Auditing
C. Security Design Principles
A, B, C1, C2: From a software developer view or a security view in general?
I'm trying to see if I have enough experience to become endorsed. I called the number and spoke with the guy who is booking the event but he couldn't answer my questions. I called (ISC)2 services and spoke to two different individuals and they assumed yes but even they said the domains are pretty vague.

The experience for the CSSLP is in working directly with the Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC) for lat least 4-5 years. I never went for the CSSLP because in 25 years of being paid to write software, I've never been on a project that was interested in secure coding and quality assurance practices. Knowing software engineering and knowing InfoSec is not enough; you need to have worked with them together to produce secure software.
