Implementing a secure networked application can be challenging, even for developers who have previously used various cryptographic building blocks (such as encryption and digital signatures). To help participants grasp the role and usage of these cryptographic primitives, the course first establishes a solid foundation on the main requirements of secure communication – secure acknowledgement, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity – while also presenting typical problems that can compromise these requirements along with real-world solutions.

As cryptography is a critical aspect of network security, the course discusses the most important cryptographic algorithms in symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement. Instead of presenting an in-depth mathematical background, these elements are discussed from a developer's perspective, showing typical use-case examples and practical considerations related to the use of crypto, such as public key infrastructures. Security protocols in many areas of secure communication are introduced, with an in-depth discussion on the most widely-used protocol families such as IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

Typical crypto vulnerabilities are discussed both related to certain crypto algorithms and cryptographic protocols, such as BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE and similar, as well as the RSA timing attack. In each case, the practical considerations and potential consequences are described for each problem, again, without going into deep mathematical details.

Finally, as XML technology is central for data exchange by networked applications, the security aspects of XML are described. This includes the usage of XML within web services and SOAP messages alongside protection measures such as XML signature and XML encryption – as well as weaknesses in those 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 at different OSI layers
• Have a practical understanding of cryptography
• Understand essential security protocols

Developers, Professionals

This three-day course provides an introduction to safeguarding C/C++ code against malicious actors who might exploit vulnerabilities related to memory management and input handling. The training focuses on the core principles of developing secure code.

Even seasoned Java developers do not necessarily master every security service provided by Java, nor are they always fully aware of the various vulnerabilities relevant to Java-based web applications.

Beyond 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 preceded by an exploration of the foundations of cryptography and secure communication. Practical exercises cover both declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE, while the course examines transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services. Participants will engage in hands-on exercises to explore the discussed APIs and tools firsthand.

The course also examines and explains the most common and severe programming flaws in the Java language and platform, along with web-related vulnerabilities. In addition to typical errors made by Java developers, the introduced security vulnerabilities encompass both language-specific issues and problems arising from the runtime environment. All vulnerabilities and their associated attacks are demonstrated through clear, practical 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
• Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and understand how to avoid them
