Parameter validation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computer software, the term parameter validation[1][2] is the automated processing, in a module, to validate the spelling or accuracy of parameters passed to that module. The term has been in common use for over 30 years.[1] Specific best practices have been developed, for decades, to improve the handling of such parameters.[1][2][3]
Parameter validation can be used to defend against cross-site scripting attacks.[4]
