Building a secure networked application can be challenging, even for developers who have prior experience with cryptographic building blocks like encryption and digital signatures. To help participants grasp the role and usage of these cryptographic primitives, this course begins by establishing a solid foundation on the core requirements of secure communication: secure acknowledgement, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. It also addresses common issues that may compromise these requirements, along with practical solutions used in real-world scenarios.

Since cryptography is critical to network security, the course covers essential cryptographic algorithms, including symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement protocols. Rather than focusing on complex mathematical theories, these concepts are explained from a developer's perspective, highlighting typical use cases and practical considerations such as public key infrastructures (PKI). Additionally, security protocols across various domains of secure communication are introduced, with detailed discussions on widely-used protocol families like IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

The course also examines common cryptographic vulnerabilities associated with specific algorithms and protocols. Examples include BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE, and RSA timing attacks. For each vulnerability, the practical implications and potential consequences are outlined, without delving into deep mathematical details.

Given that XML technology is central to data exchange in networked applications, the course explores the security aspects of XML. This includes using XML within web services and SOAP messages, alongside protection mechanisms like XML signature and XML encryption.

Developing secure C and C++ applications demands strict defence against malicious exploitation, memory corruption, and input validation bypasses. This programme explores vulnerability patterns such as buffer overflows, use-after-free errors, integer overflows, and type confusion. Participants will apply secure coding guidelines, utilising static analysis tools and defensive programming techniques to eliminate weaknesses, enforce input sanitisation, and deliver hardened software that is resilient against cyberattacks.

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.

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.

Participants attending this course will

• Grasp fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding practices

It explores web vulnerabilities through practical PHP examples, extending beyond the OWASP Top Ten to cover various injection attacks, script injections, session handling weaknesses, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. The curriculum categorises PHP-related vulnerabilities into standard types such as missing or flawed input validation, incorrect error and exception handling, misuse of security features, and time- and state-related problems. Specific topics include open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service attacks via magic floats, and hash table collision exploits. Participants will gain familiarity with the key techniques and functions required to mitigate these risks.

A significant emphasis is placed on client-side security, addressing issues related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5. The course introduces several PHP extensions for cryptography (such as hash, mcrypt, and OpenSSL) and input validation (including Ctype, ext/filter, and HTML Purifier). Best practices for hardening are also provided in the context of PHP configuration (php.ini), Apache settings, and general server management. Additionally, an overview of various security testing tools and techniques is offered, enabling developers and testers to utilise security scanners, penetration testing methods, exploit packs, sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools, and static source code analyzers.
