Developing a secure networked application presents challenges, even for developers who have previously utilized cryptographic building blocks like encryption and digital signatures. To help participants grasp the role and application of these cryptographic primitives, the 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 can compromise these requirements alongside practical solutions used in the industry.

Given that cryptography is a critical component of network security, the course examines essential cryptographic algorithms, including symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement protocols. Rather than focusing on complex mathematical theories, the content is presented from a developer's perspective, highlighting typical use cases and practical considerations such as public key infrastructures (PKI). The curriculum introduces security protocols across various domains of secure communication, with detailed discussions on widely adopted protocol families like IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

Typical cryptographic vulnerabilities are explored, relating to both 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 described without delving into deep mathematical details.

As XML technology is central to data exchange for networked applications, the course covers its security aspects. This includes the use of XML in web services and SOAP messages, along with protective measures such as XML signature and XML encryption. The content also addresses weaknesses in these protection mechanisms and XML-specific security issues like XML injection, XML external entity (XXE) attacks, XML bombs, and XPath injection.

This course equips PHP developers with the critical skills needed to build applications that are resilient against modern internet-based threats. We explore web vulnerabilities using practical PHP examples, extending beyond the OWASP Top Ten to cover a wide range of issues such as various injection attacks, script injections, session handling weaknesses, insecure direct object references, file upload risks, and more. PHP-specific vulnerabilities are categorized into standard types, including missing or flawed input validation, incorrect error and exception management, misuse of security features, and time- or state-related flaws. For these latter areas, we examine attacks like open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service via magic floats, and hash table collision exploits. Throughout, participants will master the essential techniques and functions required to mitigate these identified risks.

A dedicated focus is placed on client-side security, addressing issues within JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5. The course introduces key PHP extensions for cryptography—such as hash, mcrypt, and OpenSSL—as well as tools for input validation like Ctype, ext/filter, and HTML Purifier. We also outline best practices for hardening PHP configurations (including php.ini settings), Apache servers, and the broader server environment. Finally, we provide an overview of diverse security testing tools and techniques available to developers and testers, including security scanners, penetration testing frameworks, exploit packs, network sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing utilities, and static source code analyzers.

Both the theoretical introduction to vulnerabilities and the practical configuration guidelines are reinforced with numerous hands-on exercises. These sessions demonstrate the impact of successful attacks, illustrate how to apply mitigation strategies, and guide participants in using various extensions and tools effectively.
