Developing a secure networked application can be challenging, even for developers who have prior experience with cryptographic building blocks like encryption and digital signatures. To help participants grasp the role and usage of these cryptographic primitives, the course first establishes a solid foundation regarding the core requirements of secure communication: secure acknowledgment, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. It also addresses common vulnerabilities that threaten these requirements alongside real-world solutions.

Given that cryptography is central to network security, the curriculum covers essential cryptographic algorithms in symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement. Rather than focusing on complex mathematical theory, these topics are explored from a developer's perspective, illustrating typical use cases and practical considerations such as public key infrastructures (PKI). The course also introduces security protocols across various domains, providing an in-depth analysis of widely used protocol families like IPsec and SSL/TLS.

Common cryptographic vulnerabilities are examined concerning both specific algorithms and protocols. Topics include BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE, and RSA timing attacks. For each issue, practical implications and potential consequences are described without delving into deep mathematical details.

Since XML technology is vital for data exchange in networked applications, the course also covers XML security aspects. This includes using XML within web services and SOAP messages, along with protection mechanisms like XML Signature and XML Encryption. Additionally, it addresses weaknesses in these protections and XML-specific threats such as XML injection, XML External Entity (XXE) attacks, XML bombs, and XPath injection.

Today, numerous programming languages can compile code for the .NET and ASP.NET frameworks. This environment offers robust tools for security development; however, developers must understand how to apply architectural and coding-level techniques to implement the desired security measures, prevent vulnerabilities, or mitigate their exploitation.

This course aims to equip developers with the skills to prevent untrusted code from executing privileged actions, protect resources via strong authentication and authorization, facilitate remote procedure calls, manage sessions, and explore various implementation options through extensive hands-on exercises.

The introduction of vulnerabilities begins by highlighting common programming errors specific to .NET. The discussion on ASP.NET vulnerabilities also covers various environment settings and their impact. Furthermore, the topic of ASP.NET-specific vulnerabilities addresses general web application security challenges as well as specialized issues and attack vectors, such as ViewState attacks and string termination exploits.

Participants attending this course will

This course equips PHP developers with the essential skills needed to make their applications resilient against modern Internet-based threats. The curriculum explores web vulnerabilities through practical PHP examples, extending beyond the OWASP Top Ten to address various injection attacks, script injections, session handling weaknesses, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. PHP-related vulnerabilities are categorized into standard types such as missing or improper input validation, incorrect error and exception handling, misuse of security features, and time- and state-related problems. Specific topics include mitigating risks like open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service via magic floats, and hash table collision attacks. Participants will master the key techniques and functions required to mitigate these identified risks.

A special emphasis is placed on client-side security, addressing issues related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5. The course introduces several PHP extensions relevant to security, such as hash, mcrypt, and OpenSSL for cryptographic operations, as well as Ctype, ext/filter, and HTML Purifier for input validation.
