Building a secure networked application presents challenges even for developers experienced with cryptographic primitives like encryption and digital signatures. To help participants grasp the role and application of these tools, the course establishes a solid foundation on the core requirements of secure communication: secure acknowledgment, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. It also highlights common threats to these requirements and presents real-world solutions.

Since cryptography is fundamental to network security, the course examines key algorithms in symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement. Rather than focusing on deep mathematical theory, the content takes a developer-centric approach, illustrating typical use cases and practical considerations such as public key infrastructures (PKI). The course introduces security protocols across various domains, with a detailed exploration of widely used families like IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

Common cryptographic vulnerabilities are analyzed in relation to specific algorithms and protocols. This includes well-known issues such as BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE, and RSA timing attacks. For each, the course outlines practical implications and potential consequences without diving into complex mathematical details.

Given that XML technology is central to data exchange for networked applications, the course also covers XML security. This includes the use of XML in web services and SOAP messages, along with protective measures like XML Signature and XML Encryption.

Participants will learn how to mitigate vulnerabilities arising from memory management and input handling, thereby mastering the core practices necessary for writing secure software.

Even seasoned Java developers do not always fully grasp the security services provided by Java, nor are they necessarily aware of the vulnerabilities pertinent to Java-based web applications.

Aside from 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 is grounded in the fundamentals of cryptography and secure communication. A variety of exercises focus on declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE, while covering both transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services. Participants can apply these concepts through practical exercises, experimenting with the discussed APIs and tools firsthand.

The course also examines and clarifies the most common and critical programming flaws inherent to the Java language and platform, as well as web-related vulnerabilities. Beyond typical errors made by Java programmers, the covered security vulnerabilities include language-specific issues and problems arising from the runtime environment. All identified vulnerabilities and corresponding attacks are demonstrated through easy-to-understand exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and potential mitigation strategies.

Participants attending this course will

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

Description

While the Java programming language and its Runtime Environment (JRE) were engineered to minimize the common security vulnerabilities prevalent in languages like C/C++, developers and architects must possess a dual awareness. They need to master the positive security features available in the Java ecosystem while simultaneously understanding the persistent vulnerabilities that still threaten Java applications. This 'negative security' perspective is crucial for robust defense.

The course introduces essential security services by first establishing a solid foundation in cryptography, ensuring all participants share a common understanding of how cryptographic components function and why they are important. This theoretical background is reinforced through practical exercises, allowing attendees to directly apply and test the discussed APIs.

Furthermore, the training examines the most frequent and critical programming flaws within the Java language and platform. This includes both typical errors made by Java developers and issues specific to the Java environment itself. Each vulnerability and its corresponding attack vector are demonstrated via accessible exercises, followed by clear coding guidelines and mitigation strategies.

Participants attending this course will

• Grasp the fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding principles
• Identify web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and learn how to prevent them
• Effectively utilize various security features within the Java development environment
• Develop a practical understanding of cryptography
• Recognize typical coding mistakes and learn how to avoid them
• Gain insight into recent vulnerabilities affecting the Java framework
• Access valuable resources and further reading on secure coding practices
