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

Developing secure C and C++ code demands robust defenses against malicious exploitation, memory corruption, and input validation bypasses. This course explores vulnerability patterns such as buffer overflows, use-after-free errors, integer overflows, and type confusion. Participants will apply secure coding guidelines, static analysis tools, and defensive programming techniques to eliminate weaknesses, enforce input sanitization, and deliver hardened software resilient against cyberattacks.

Even seasoned Java developers do not always fully master the diverse security services provided by Java, nor are they necessarily aware of the various vulnerabilities that impact web applications written in Java.

Besides 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 grounded in the fundamentals of cryptography and secure communication. Through various exercises, participants explore declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE, while examining both transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services. All components are illustrated through practical exercises, allowing participants to experiment with the discussed APIs and tools firsthand.

The course also covers and explains the most common and severe programming flaws in the Java language and platform, as well as web-related vulnerabilities. Beyond typical errors made by Java developers, the security vulnerabilities addressed encompass both language-specific issues and problems arising from the runtime environment. All vulnerabilities and relevant attacks are demonstrated through accessible exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and potential mitigation techniques.
