Course Outline
1. IT security and secure coding
- Core Security Principles: Exploring Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) specifically within Java applications.
- Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC): Embedding security considerations from the requirements phase through to deployment.
- Secure Coding Paradigms: Applying defense in depth, least privilege, and fail-safe defaults.
- Vulnerability Classification Standards: Gaining insight into CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) and OWASP standards.
2. Web application security
- In-Depth Analysis of OWASP Top Ten: A detailed look at Injection, Broken Authentication, and Sensitive Data Exposure.
- Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Examining Reflected, Stored, and DOM-based XSS scenarios in Java/JSP environments.
- Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF): Understanding attack mechanisms and implementing Anti-CSRF tokens for protection.
- Session Management: Ensuring cookie security, preventing session fixation, and managing timeouts effectively.
- API Security: Strategies for securing REST and SOAP endpoints against potential abuse.
3. Security of Web services
- Web Services vs. Traditional Web Apps: Analyzing the distinct differences in attack surfaces.
- Transport Layer Security: Configuring SSL/TLS for Java clients and servers.
- Message Security: Ensuring integrity and confidentiality at the payload level.
- Authentication Standards: Implementing OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and JWT (JSON Web Tokens).
4. XML security
- XML Parsing Vulnerabilities: Techniques for preventing XML External Entity (XXE) attacks.
- XML Schema Validation: Best practices for enforcing strict schema compliance.
- XML Digital Signatures: Implementing signatures to guarantee non-repudiation.
- XML Encryption: Standard methods for encrypting XML content.
5. Foundations of Java security
- Java Security Architecture: Overview of the
java.securitypackage and its provider architecture. - Security Providers: Procedures for installing and configuring providers such as Bouncy Castle.
- Access Control: Managing policy files, Permissions, and the Security Manager (comparing legacy and modern approaches).
- KeyStore Management: Creating and maintaining keystores and truststores for certificate management.
6. Practical cryptography
- Cryptographic Algorithms: An overview of Symmetric (AES), Asymmetric (RSA, ECC), and Hashing (SHA-256/512) algorithms.
- Random Number Generation: Comparing the risks of
java.util.Randomwith the security ofjava.security.SecureRandom. - Key Management: Strategies for key generation, secure storage, and rotation.
- Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA): Utilizing
Cipher,MessageDigest, andMacclasses. - Java Cryptography Extension (JCE): Understanding policy files and unlimited strength jurisdiction.
7. Java security services
- SSL/TLS in Java: Utilizing
SSLSocketFactoryandHttpsURLConnectionfor secure connections. - Trust Managers: Customizing trust verification for private PKI environments.
- Authenticators: Implementing programmatic authentication using
Authenticator.getDefault(). - Certificate Parsing: Programmatically reading and analyzing X.509 certificates.
8. Java EE security
- Declarative Security: Implementing Role-based access control (RBAC) via
web.xmland annotations. - Programmatic Security: Utilizing methods like
HttpServletRequest.isUserInRole()andgetRemoteUser(). - JAAS (Java Authentication and Authorization Service): Configuring
login.confand implementing customLoginModules. - Servlet Security: Managing container-managed security constraints and authentication methods (FORM, BASIC, DIGEST).
9. Common coding errors and vulnerabilities
- Insecure Deserialization: Assessing the risks posed by
ObjectInputStreamand the potential bypass of security checks. - Command Injection: Strategies for mitigating OS-level execution vulnerabilities.
- Path Traversal: Sanitizing file system inputs to prevent directory traversal attacks.
- Reflection Abuse: Evaluating risks associated with
java.lang.reflectand potential access control bypasses. - Hardcoded Credentials: Identifying and removing secrets directly embedded in source code.
- Cryptography Implementation Errors: Avoiding pitfalls such as using ECB mode, weak keys, or static IVs.
10. Knowledge sources
- Static Analysis Tools: Leveraging SonarQube, Checkmarx, and Fortify for automated security scanning.
- Dynamic Analysis Tools: An overview of Burp Suite and OWASP ZAP capabilities.
- CVE Databases: Methods for tracking and responding to new Java framework vulnerabilities.
- Recommended Readings: A curated list of books, documentation, and secure coding checklists.
