Target Audience

Professionals

Implementing a secure networked application can be challenging, even for developers who have prior experience with various cryptographic building blocks (such as encryption and digital signatures). To ensure participants grasp the role and application of these cryptographic primitives, the course begins by establishing a solid foundation on the core requirements of secure communication – including secure acknowledgment, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. It also highlights typical issues that can compromise these requirements alongside real-world solutions.

Since cryptography is a critical aspect of network security, the course covers the most important algorithms in symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement. Rather than focusing on in-depth mathematical theory, these topics are explored from a developer's perspective, featuring typical use-case examples and practical considerations such as public key infrastructures. Security protocols used in various aspects of secure communication are introduced, with a detailed discussion on widely adopted protocol families like IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

The course examines typical cryptographic 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 considerations and potential consequences are described, avoiding deep mathematical details.

Finally, as XML technology is central to data exchange in networked applications, the course describes its security aspects. This includes using XML within web services and SOAP messages, along with protection measures like XML signature and XML encryption. It also addresses weaknesses in these protection measures and XML-specific security issues 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 across different OSI layers
• Gain a practical understanding of cryptography

Over the course of three days, this training program delves into the foundational aspects of protecting C/C++ code from malicious actors who seek to exploit vulnerabilities arising from poor memory management and inadequate input handling. The course focuses on the core principles necessary for writing secure, resilient code.

Even seasoned Java developers often struggle to fully grasp the breadth of security services provided by Java, nor do they always recognize the diverse vulnerabilities that impact web applications built with Java.

This course goes beyond introducing the security components of Standard Java Edition to address security concerns within Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. The discussion begins with the fundamentals of cryptography and secure communication before diving into specific services. Participants will engage in various exercises focused on both declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE, as well as explore transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services. Through hands-on practical exercises, attendees will actively experiment with the APIs and tools covered, gaining direct experience with their application.

The course also thoroughly examines and explains the most common and critical programming flaws associated with the Java language and platform, alongside web-related vulnerabilities. Beyond typical errors made by Java developers, the security topics address both language-specific issues and problems arising from the runtime environment. Each vulnerability and its corresponding attack vectors are illustrated through clear, understandable exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and effective mitigation strategies.

Description

Although the Java language and its Runtime Environment (JRE) were engineered to eliminate the most prevalent security vulnerabilities found in languages such as C and C++, developers and architects must possess more than just knowledge of Java’s built-in security features (positive security). They must also recognize the many vulnerabilities that remain relevant to Java development (negative security).

The course introduces security services by first providing a concise overview of cryptographic foundations, establishing a common baseline for understanding the purpose and operation of applicable components.
