Course Outline
1. IT security and secure coding
- Core Security Principles: Applying Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) within Java applications.
- Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC): Embedding security considerations from the requirements phase through to deployment.
- Secure Coding Paradigms: Utilizing defense in depth, least privilege, and fail-safe defaults.
- Standard Vulnerability Classifications: Interpreting CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) and OWASP standards.
2. Web application security
- In-depth Analysis of OWASP Top Ten: Focusing on Injection, Broken Authentication, and Sensitive Data Exposure.
- Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Addressing Reflected, Stored, and DOM-based XSS scenarios in Java/JSP.
- Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF): Understanding attack mechanisms and implementing Anti-CSRF tokens.
- Session Management: Enhancing cookie security, preventing session fixation, and managing timeouts.
- API Security: Protecting REST and SOAP endpoints from malicious abuse.
3. Security of Web services
- Web Services vs. Traditional Web Apps: Analyzing differences in attack surfaces.
- Transport Layer Security: Configuring SSL/TLS for Java clients and servers.
- Message Security: Ensuring integrity and confidentiality at the payload level.
- Authentication Standards: Implementing OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and JWT (JSON Web Tokens).
4. XML security
- XML Parsing Vulnerabilities: Safeguarding against XML External Entity (XXE) attacks.
- XML Schema Validation: Enforcing strict schema practices for better security.
- XML Digital Signatures: Using signatures to guarantee non-repudiation.
- XML Encryption: Applying standard methods for encrypting XML content.
5. Foundations of Java security
- The Java Security Architecture: Exploring the
java.securitypackage and provider model. - Security Providers: Installing and configuring providers such as Bouncy Castle.
- Access Control: Managing policy files, Permissions, and the Security Manager (comparing legacy and modern approaches).
- KeyStore Management: Creating and maintaining keystores and truststores for certificate handling.
6. Practical cryptography
- Cryptographic Algorithms: Reviewing Symmetric (AES), Asymmetric (RSA, ECC), and Hashing (SHA-256/512) methods.
- Random Number Generation: Comparing the risks of
java.util.Randomwithjava.security.SecureRandom. - Key Management: Strategies for key generation, storage, and rotation.
- Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA): Leveraging
Cipher,MessageDigest, andMacclasses. - Java Cryptography Extension (JCE): Understanding policy files and unlimited strength jurisdictions.
7. Java security services
- SSL/TLS in Java: Utilizing
SSLSocketFactoryandHttpsURLConnection. - Trust Managers: Customizing trust verification for private PKI environments.
- Authenticators: Performing programmatic authentication via
Authenticator.getDefault(). - Certificate Parsing: Programmatically reading and analyzing X.509 certificates.
8. Java EE security
- Declarative Security: Implementing role-based access control (RBAC) via
web.xmland annotations. - Programmatic Security: Using
HttpServletRequest.isUserInRole()andgetRemoteUser(). - JAAS (Java Authentication and Authorization Service): Configuring
login.confand implementingLoginModules. - Servlet Security: Applying container-managed security constraints and authentication methods (FORM, BASIC, DIGEST).
9. Common coding errors and vulnerabilities
- Insecure Deserialization: Mitigating risks associated with
ObjectInputStreamand security check bypasses. - Command Injection: Reducing OS-level execution vulnerabilities.
- Path Traversal: Sanitizing file system inputs to block directory traversal attempts.
- Reflection Abuse: Addressing risks from
java.lang.reflectand access control bypasses. - Hardcoded Credentials: Identifying and eliminating secrets embedded in source code.
- Cryptography Implementation Errors: Avoiding pitfalls like ECB mode, weak keys, or static IVs.
10. Knowledge sources
- Static Analysis Tools: Using SonarQube, Checkmarx, and Fortify for automated code scanning.
- Dynamic Analysis Tools: Overview of Burp Suite and OWASP ZAP capabilities.
- CVE Databases: Methods for tracking and responding to new Java framework vulnerabilities.
- Recommended Readings: Curated list of books, documentation, and secure coding checklists.
