D offers a number of features designed to reduce and even eliminate 
security problems due to exploits of memory corruption issues. For 
example, @safe functions.

D does offer things like better encapsulation methods that enable the 
programmer to better define interfaces, such as contracts, but designing 
that for security would be entirely up to the programmer.
