This course provides a comprehensive overview of these features while highlighting critical shortcomings related to the underlying Linux system, file system, and overall environment, as well as issues concerning permissions and other Android software development components.

Common security pitfalls and vulnerabilities are discussed for both native code and Java applications, along with recommendations and best practices to prevent and mitigate them. Real-life examples and case studies support many of the issues covered. Lastly, an overview is provided on using security testing tools to identify any programming bugs that could compromise security.

Creating a secure networked application can be challenging, even for developers familiar with cryptographic components like encryption and digital signatures. To help participants grasp the role and application of these cryptographic elements, we first establish a strong foundation in the key requirements for secure communication: secure acknowledgment, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. We also highlight common issues that could compromise these requirements and present practical solutions.

Given that cryptography is crucial to network security, this course covers essential cryptographic algorithms in symmetric encryption, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement from a developer's perspective. Rather than delving into complex mathematics, we focus on real-world use cases and practical considerations such as public key infrastructures. We also introduce various security protocols used in secure communication and provide an in-depth look at widely-used protocol families like IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

We discuss common vulnerabilities associated with specific cryptographic algorithms and protocols, including BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE, and the RSA timing attack. For each vulnerability, we explain practical implications and potential outcomes without overwhelming mathematical details.

Since XML technology is pivotal for data exchange in networked applications, this course also covers its security aspects. This includes using XML within web services and SOAP messages, along with protective measures such as XML signature and encryption. We also address weaknesses in these protections and specific XML-related security issues like XML injection, 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
• Learn the requirements for secure communication
• Acquire knowledge about network attacks and defenses across different OSI layers
• Develop a practical grasp of cryptography
• Understand key security protocols
• Be informed about recent attacks on cryptosystems
• Receive insights into recent vulnerabilities
• Comprehend the security aspects of Web services
• Access resources and further readings on secure coding practices

Developers, Professionals

This three-day course delves into the fundamentals of safeguarding C/C++ code from malicious users who could exploit various vulnerabilities related to memory management and input handling. It also emphasizes the principles of developing secure code.

Even seasoned Java developers may not fully grasp the diverse security features provided by Java, nor are they always informed about the various vulnerabilities pertinent to web applications developed in Java.

This course – while introducing the security aspects of Standard Java Edition – also addresses the security concerns related to Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. It begins with an overview of cryptography and secure communication before delving into specific security services. Exercises focus on both declarative and programmatic security methods in JEE, as well as transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services. Participants will engage in practical exercises to explore the discussed APIs and tools firsthand.

The course also examines and elucidates common and critical programming errors associated with the Java language and platform, along with web-related vulnerabilities. It covers both typical mistakes made by Java developers and broader issues related to the runtime environment. Each vulnerability and its corresponding attacks are illustrated through straightforward exercises, followed by recommended coding practices and mitigation strategies.

Participants in this course will

• Gain a foundational understanding of security principles, IT security, and secure coding
• Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten list and how to prevent them
• Acquire knowledge on the security aspects of Web services
• Master various security features within the Java development environment
• Develop a practical understanding of cryptography
• Understand security solutions in Java EE
• Be informed about typical coding errors and how to avoid them

Description

The Java language and its Runtime Environment (JRE) were crafted to avoid the most common security issues found in other languages, such as C/C++. However, software developers and architects must not only be proficient with the various security features of the Java environment (positive security), but also be knowledgeable about the vulnerabilities that still affect Java development (negative security).

Before delving into security services, a brief overview of cryptography fundamentals is provided to establish a common understanding of the purpose and operation of relevant components. Participants will have hands-on experience with these components through several practical exercises where they can test out the discussed APIs.

The course also examines and explains the most frequent and serious programming flaws in Java language and platform, covering both typical errors made by Java programmers and issues specific to the language and environment. All vulnerabilities and related attacks are demonstrated through straightforward exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and mitigation techniques.

Participants attending this course will

• Grasp fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding practices
