Developing secure networked applications can be challenging, even for developers who have previously utilized various cryptographic building blocks, such as encryption and digital signatures. To help participants grasp the role and application of these cryptographic primitives, the course begins by establishing a solid foundation regarding the core requirements of secure communication: secure acknowledgement, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. It also addresses typical threats that may compromise these requirements, alongside real-world solutions.

As cryptography is a critical aspect of network security, the course covers the most important algorithms in symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement. Rather than focusing on complex mathematical theory, these topics are presented from a developer's perspective, illustrating typical use-case examples and practical considerations, such as the implementation of public key infrastructures. Additionally, security protocols used in various areas of secure communication are introduced, with an in-depth discussion on widely-used protocol families like IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

Common cryptographic vulnerabilities are examined, covering issues related to specific algorithms and protocols such as BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE, and RSA timing attacks. For each problem, practical considerations and potential consequences are described without delving into deep mathematical details.

Finally, since XML technology is central to data exchange for networked applications, the security aspects of XML are detailed. This includes the use of XML in web services and SOAP messages, along with protection mechanisms like XML Signature and XML Encryption. The course also covers weaknesses in these protection measures and XML-specific security issues such as XML injection, XML External Entity (XXE) attacks, XML bombs, and XPath injection.

Even experienced Java programmers do not necessarily master all the security services provided by Java, nor are they always aware of the different vulnerabilities relevant to web applications written in Java.

Besides introducing the security components of Standard Java Edition, this course addresses security issues concerning Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. The discussion of specific services is preceded by the foundations of cryptography and secure communication. Various exercises cover declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE, while both transport-layer and end-to-end security of web services are discussed. The use of all components is presented through several practical exercises, allowing participants to try out the discussed APIs and tools themselves.

The course also covers and explains the most frequent and severe programming flaws of the Java language and platform, as well as web-related vulnerabilities. Besides the typical bugs committed by Java programmers, the introduced security vulnerabilities cover both language-specific issues and problems stemming from the runtime environment. All vulnerabilities and the relevant attacks are demonstrated through easy-to-understand exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and possible mitigation techniques.

Description

While the Java language and Java Runtime Environment (JRE) were engineered to be free from many of the common, severe security vulnerabilities often found in languages like C/C++, developers and architects must possess more than just a knowledge of Java's positive security features. They must also be vigilant about the numerous vulnerabilities that remain pertinent to Java development, a concept referred to as 'negative security'.

The course introduces security services by first providing a concise overview of cryptography foundations, establishing a shared baseline for understanding the purpose and function of the relevant components. Participants will engage in several practical exercises to apply these concepts using the discussed APIs.

Additionally, the course examines and explains the most frequent and critical programming flaws within the Java language and platform. This includes both common errors made by Java programmers and issues specific to the language and its environment. All vulnerabilities and associated attacks are demonstrated through clear, understandable exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and mitigation strategies.

Participants attending this course will

• Grasp the fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
• Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and understand how to prevent them
• Gain the skills to utilize various security features within the Java development environment

Today, numerous programming languages can compile code for the .NET and ASP.NET frameworks. While this environment offers robust capabilities for security development, it is essential for developers to understand how to apply programming techniques at both the architecture and coding levels. This knowledge allows them to implement necessary security functions while avoiding vulnerabilities or minimizing their potential impact.

This course aims to equip developers with practical skills through extensive hands-on exercises. Participants will learn to prevent untrusted code from executing privileged actions, safeguard resources via strong authentication and authorization mechanisms, facilitate remote procedure calls, manage sessions effectively, and explore various implementations for specific functionalities.

The discussion on vulnerabilities begins by highlighting typical programming errors associated with .NET. The analysis of ASP.NET vulnerabilities further examines various environment settings and their implications. Additionally, the section on ASP.NET-specific vulnerabilities addresses general web application security challenges as well as unique issues and attack vectors, such as ViewState attacks and string termination exploits.
