Abstract
Data integrity is a very important part of developing a software product. Users of software are human beings and, being such, are universally fallible. Whenever requiring input from a user—especially free-text input—the values that are supplied should be treated with extreme suspicion. When it comes to user input, data lives in a totalitarian state: it is all guilty until proven innocent and must be vigorously validated before being trusted.
