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 application of these cryptographic primitives, this course first establishes a solid foundation on the core requirements of secure communication: secure acknowledgment, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. It also highlights common threats that compromise these requirements alongside practical, real-world solutions.

Since cryptography is a critical component of network security, the course covers essential cryptographic algorithms in symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement. Rather than focusing on complex mathematical theories, these concepts are explored from a developer's perspective, featuring typical use-case examples and practical considerations such as public key infrastructures. The course also introduces security protocols used across various domains of secure communication, with a detailed examination of widely adopted protocol families like IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

Common cryptographic vulnerabilities are discussed in relation to specific algorithms and protocols, including BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE, and the RSA timing attack. For each issue, practical implications and potential consequences are outlined, avoiding deep mathematical derivations.

Finally, given that XML technology is central to data exchange for networked applications, the course addresses XML security. This includes the use of XML in web services and SOAP messages, along with protective measures such as XML Signature and XML Encryption. It also covers weaknesses in these protections and XML-specific security issues, including 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
• Understand the requirements of secure communication
• Learn about network attacks and defenses at different OSI layers
• Have a practical understanding of cryptography
• Understand essential security protocols
• Understand some recent attacks against cryptosystems
• Get information about some recent related vulnerabilities
• Understand security concepts of Web services
• Get sources and further readings on secure coding practices

Developers, Professionals

Over the course of three days, this program introduces the fundamental practices for protecting C and C++ code from malicious exploitation. It addresses common vulnerabilities arising from memory management and input handling, while also emphasizing the core principles of writing secure software.

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

In addition to introducing the security components of Standard Java Edition, this course addresses security concerns within Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. The discussion of specific services begins with the fundamentals of cryptography and secure communication. Participants will explore declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE through various exercises, while also examining both transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services. Practical exercises allow participants to apply these APIs and tools, providing hands-on experience with all discussed components.

The course also covers and explains the most common and severe programming flaws associated with the Java language and platform, as well as web-related vulnerabilities. Beyond typical bugs committed by Java developers, the security vulnerabilities addressed include both language-specific issues and problems arising from the runtime environment. All vulnerabilities and corresponding attacks are demonstrated through clear, understandable exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and potential mitigation strategies.

Description

Although the Java language and the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) were engineered to minimize the common security vulnerabilities often found in other languages like C/C++, developers and architects must do more than just leverage the environment's positive security features. They must also recognize the persistent 'negative security' vulnerabilities that remain relevant to Java development.

This course begins with a concise overview of cryptographic foundations, establishing a common baseline for understanding the purpose and operation of applicable security components. Participants will then apply these concepts through practical exercises, allowing them to experiment with the discussed APIs firsthand.

Additionally, the curriculum examines the most frequent and severe programming flaws inherent to the Java language and platform. This includes addressing typical mistakes made by Java programmers as well as issues specific to the language and environment. All vulnerabilities and associated attack vectors are demonstrated through easy-to-understand exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and effective mitigation techniques.
