Building secure networked applications can be challenging, even for developers who have previously worked 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 strong foundation on the core requirements of secure communication—such as secure acknowledgement, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. It also highlights common issues that can compromise these requirements and presents practical real-world solutions.

Since cryptography is a critical component of 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 explored from a developer's perspective, featuring typical use-case examples and practical considerations related to cryptographic implementation, such as Public Key Infrastructures (PKI). The course also introduces security protocols used in various areas of secure communication, providing an in-depth look at widely adopted protocol families like IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

Common cryptographic vulnerabilities are discussed, covering both specific algorithms and protocols. This includes attacks such as 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 explained, avoiding deep mathematical details to maintain focus on practical understanding.

Finally, given that XML technology is central to data exchange in networked applications, the course addresses XML security. This includes the use of XML within web services and SOAP messages, along with protective measures like XML Signature and XML Encryption. Additionally, it covers weaknesses in these protection mechanisms and XML-specific security issues, such as XML injection, XML External Entity (XXE) attacks, XML bombs, and XPath injection.

Participants attending this course will

• Gain an understanding of fundamental security concepts, IT security, and secure coding practices
• Comprehend the requirements for secure communication
• Learn about network attacks and defenses across different OSI layers
• Develop a practical understanding of cryptography
• Understand essential security protocols
• Recognize recent attacks targeting cryptosystems

Spanning three days, this course introduces the fundamentals of safeguarding C/C++ code against malicious exploitation. It focuses on addressing vulnerabilities related to memory management and input handling, while exploring the core principles essential for writing secure code.

Even seasoned Java developers often do not fully master the diverse security services provided by Java, nor are they always conscious of the various vulnerabilities pertinent to web applications developed in Java.

Aside from introducing the security components of Standard Java Edition, this course addresses security concerns related to Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. The discussion of specific services builds upon the foundations of cryptography and secure communication. A range of exercises focuses on declarative and programmatic security techniques within JEE, while both transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services are explored. The application of all these components is illustrated through practical exercises, allowing participants to experiment with the discussed APIs and tools firsthand.

The course also examines and explains the most common and severe programming flaws associated with the Java language and platform, as well as web-related vulnerabilities. Beyond the typical errors made by Java developers, the covered security vulnerabilities include both language-specific issues and problems arising from the runtime environment. All vulnerabilities and their corresponding attacks are demonstrated through straightforward exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and potential mitigation techniques.

Description

Although the Java language and the Runtime Environment (JRE) were designed to be free from the most problematic common security vulnerabilities experienced in other languages, like C/C++, software developers and architects must do more than just use the various security features of the Java environment (positive security). They must also be aware of the numerous vulnerabilities that are still relevant for Java development (negative security).

The introduction of security services is preceded by a brief overview of the foundations of cryptography, providing a common baseline for understanding the purpose and the operation of the applicable components. The use of these components is presented through several practical exercises, where participants can try out the discussed APIs for themselves.

The course also goes through and explains the most frequent and severe programming flaws of the Java language and platform, covering both the typical bugs committed by Java programmers and the language- and environment-specific issues. All vulnerabilities and the relevant attacks are demonstrated through easy-to-understand exercises, followed by the recommended coding guidelines and the possible mitigation techniques.
