Secure Developer .NET (Inc OWASP) Training Course

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.

Description

The Java language and the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) were engineered to eliminate many of the critical security vulnerabilities commonly found in languages like C and C++. However, software developers and architects must do more than simply utilize the positive security features available in the Java ecosystem; they must also maintain a keen awareness of the numerous vulnerabilities that remain relevant to Java development (negative security).

Participants will then engage in practical exercises to explore these components and test the discussed APIs firsthand.

Additionally, the course examines and explains the most frequent and severe programming flaws within the Java language and platform. It covers typical errors made by Java programmers as well as issues specific to the language and its environment. All identified vulnerabilities and associated attacks are demonstrated through accessible exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and effective mitigation techniques.
