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.

Participants attending this course will

• Understand basic concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
• Grasp the requirements of secure communication
• Learn about network attacks and defenses across different OSI layers
• Develop a practical understanding of cryptography

Spanning three days, this course explores the foundational principles of securing C/C++ code. Participants will learn how to protect against malicious exploitation of common vulnerabilities, particularly those arising from memory management and input handling.

Even seasoned Java developers often do not fully master the array of security services provided by Java, nor are they always aware of the distinct vulnerabilities that affect web applications built with Java.

This course not only introduces the security components of the Standard Java Edition but also addresses security challenges within the Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. The discussion of specific services begins with the fundamental principles of cryptography and secure communication. A series of practical exercises covers both declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE, while the course explores transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services. Participants will engage in several hands-on exercises to apply and experiment with the discussed APIs and tools.

The course also examines and clarifies the most common and severe programming flaws associated with the Java language and platform, along with web-related vulnerabilities. Beyond typical bugs made by Java programmers, the security vulnerabilities covered include issues specific to the language and those arising from the runtime environment. Each vulnerability and its corresponding attack vector are demonstrated through clear, easy-to-follow exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and potential mitigation strategies.

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.
