Peter is co-author of the books POSA Vol.1 and Security Patterns and contributed to "97 things every programmer should know". Peter contributed to the AUTOSAR Adaptive C++ safety guidelines and to MISRA-C++:2023 as well as a member of ISO SC22 WG23 to the C++ programming languages vulnerabilities standard.  Since C++11 every C++ standard got slightly influenced by Peter's contributions, he is especially proud of having also contributed to the C23 standard on a language he abandoned in favor of C++ in the early 1990s.
