Aside from developer certifications that include coverage of security
topics and passing coverage in general security certifications like CISSP,
Security+ and so forth (which means usually only one knowledge domain out
of 7 or more such domains relates to your primary area of interest), I'm
not aware of any security certifications that aim specifically at
developers.
At present, this kind of knowledge is probably easiest to gain by
pursuing a master's degree with a specific focus on that topic. At the same
time, I would suggest that you consider obtaining Security+, CISSP and
perhaps some vendor security certifications like those from Cisco,
CheckPoint,
RSA, IBM and so forth, to give you a market perspective on what security
looks like from a more standard point of view.
Good luck in your pursuit of this entirely laudable subject matter.
