This paper explores the use of domain-specific languages for improving software security, which deals with developing software in a way that is not maliciously exploitable. Specifically we demonstrate how modular extension of the C programming language can help with technical and processrelated aspects of software security. Some of these examples are already implemented, some are analytical extrapolations from related work we have done in the past; a detailed empirical evaluation has not yet
