Building a secure networked application is challenging, even for developers who have prior experience with cryptographic primitives like encryption and digital signatures. To help participants grasp the role and application of these building blocks, this course first establishes a solid foundation regarding the core requirements of secure communication—specifically secure acknowledgment, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. It also highlights common threats that can compromise these requirements alongside real-world solutions.

Given that cryptography is central to network security, the course covers essential algorithms in symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement. Rather than focusing on complex mathematics, these topics are presented from a developer's viewpoint, including typical use cases and practical considerations such as public key infrastructures. Additionally, security protocols across various domains of secure communication are introduced, with a detailed examination of widely used protocol families like IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

Typical cryptographic vulnerabilities related to specific algorithms and protocols—such as BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE, and RSA timing attacks—are explored. For each issue, the course outlines practical implications and potential consequences without delving into deep mathematical theory.

Since XML technology is pivotal for data exchange in networked applications, the security aspects of XML are also covered. This includes using XML within web services and SOAP messages, as well as protection mechanisms like XML signature and XML encryption. The course also addresses weaknesses in these protections and XML-specific security risks, such as XML injection, XML external entity (XXE) attacks, XML bombs, and XPath injection.

Developing secure code in C and C++ demands a robust defense strategy against malicious exploitation, memory corruption, and input validation bypasses. This course explores common vulnerability patterns such as buffer overflows, use-after-free errors, integer overflows, and type confusion. Participants will learn to apply secure coding standards, utilize static analysis tools, and adopt defensive programming techniques to eliminate weaknesses, enforce strict input sanitization, and deliver software that is hardened against cyber threats.

Even seasoned Java developers do not automatically master all the security services provided by Java, nor are they fully aware of the various vulnerabilities that impact Java-based web applications.

This course introduces the security components of Java Standard Edition (Java SE) and addresses security challenges within Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) and web services. Before exploring specific services, the course covers the fundamentals of cryptography and secure communication. Through practical exercises, participants learn about declarative and programmatic security techniques in Java EE, as well as transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services. All concepts are reinforced through hands-on exercises where participants can experiment with the discussed APIs and tools.

The course also examines and explains the most common and severe programming flaws in the Java language and platform, along with web-related vulnerabilities. Beyond typical errors made by Java developers, the discussed security vulnerabilities encompass both language-specific issues and problems arising from the runtime environment. Each vulnerability and corresponding attack is demonstrated through easy-to-follow exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and mitigation strategies.

Today, numerous programming languages allow code compilation for the .NET and ASP.NET frameworks. While this environment offers robust tools for security development, developers must understand how to apply architectural and coding-level techniques to implement desired security features, avoid vulnerabilities, and limit their exploitation.

This course aims to teach developers, through extensive hands-on exercises, how to prevent untrusted code from executing privileged actions, secure resources via strong authentication and authorization, manage remote procedure calls and sessions, and explore various implementation strategies for different functionalities.

The course introduces various vulnerabilities by first presenting common programming pitfalls in .NET. The discussion on ASP.NET vulnerabilities covers the impact of different environment settings. Furthermore, the section on ASP.NET-specific vulnerabilities addresses both general web application security challenges and specialized issues such as ViewState attacks and string termination attacks.

Participants attending this course will

• Comprehend fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding

This course equips PHP developers with the essential skills needed to build applications that are resilient against modern internet-based threats. The curriculum explores web vulnerabilities through PHP-centric examples, extending beyond the OWASP Top Ten to cover a wide range of injection attacks, script injections, session handling weaknesses, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. These PHP-specific vulnerabilities are categorized into standard vulnerability types, such as missing or flawed input validation, incorrect error and exception handling, misuse of security features, and time- and state-related issues. For the latter category, the course examines attacks like open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service via magic float, and hash table collision attacks. In each scenario, participants learn the critical techniques and functions required to mitigate these risks.

A significant emphasis is placed on client-side security, addressing issues related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5. The course introduces several PHP extensions, including hash, mcrypt, and OpenSSL for cryptographic purposes, as well as Ctype, ext/filter, and HTML Purifier for robust input validation. Best practices for hardening are provided in the context of PHP configuration (php.ini), Apache settings, and general server security. Additionally, the course offers a comprehensive overview of security testing tools and techniques available to developers and testers, such as security scanners, penetration testing methodologies, exploit packs, packet sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools, and static source code analyzers.
