Developing secure networked applications can be challenging, even for developers experienced with cryptographic building blocks like encryption and digital signatures. To help participants grasp the role and application of these cryptographic primitives, this course establishes a solid foundation on the core requirements of secure communication—including secure acknowledgment, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. It also highlights common threats to these requirements alongside practical real-world solutions.

Since cryptography is a critical component of network security, the course covers essential algorithms in symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement. Rather than focusing on complex mathematical theory, the content approaches these topics from a developer's perspective, illustrating typical use cases and practical considerations such as public key infrastructures. Additionally, various security protocols are introduced, with a detailed examination of widely used families like IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

The course addresses typical crypto vulnerabilities associated with specific algorithms and protocols, such as BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE, and RSA timing attacks. For each issue, practical implications and potential consequences are explained without delving into deep mathematical details.

Finally, as XML technology is central to data exchange in networked applications, the course explores its security aspects. This includes the use of XML in web services and SOAP messages, protection mechanisms like XML signature and XML encryption, and vulnerabilities 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
• 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

This three-day program provides a comprehensive overview of protecting C/C++ code from malicious exploitation, focusing on vulnerabilities related to memory management and input handling. Participants will learn the fundamental principles of writing robust and secure software.

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

Beyond introducing the security components of Standard Java Edition, this course addresses security challenges in Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. The discussion of specific services begins with the fundamentals of cryptography and secure communication. A variety of exercises explore declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE, while both transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services are examined. Participants engage in practical exercises that allow them to test the discussed APIs and tools hands-on.

The course also reviews and explains the most common and critical programming flaws associated with the Java language and platform, as well as web-related vulnerabilities. In addition to typical errors made by Java programmers, the covered security vulnerabilities include both language-specific issues and problems arising from the runtime environment. Each vulnerability and its corresponding attack vectors are demonstrated through accessible exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and potential mitigation strategies.

Description

While the Java language and Runtime Environment (JRE) were designed to eliminate many of the critical security vulnerabilities found in languages like C and C++, developers and architects must go beyond simply utilizing Java's built-in security features (positive security). They must also maintain a keen awareness of the numerous vulnerabilities that remain pertinent to Java development (negative security).

The course begins with a concise overview of cryptographic foundations, establishing a common baseline to help participants understand the purpose and functionality of the relevant components. This knowledge is then applied through practical exercises, allowing attendees to experiment with the discussed APIs firsthand.

Additionally, the curriculum examines the most frequent and severe programming flaws specific to the Java language and platform. This includes both typical errors made by Java programmers and issues unique to the language and its environment. All identified vulnerabilities and associated attacks are demonstrated through accessible exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and effective mitigation techniques.
