Building a secure networked application presents challenges even for developers familiar with cryptographic building blocks like encryption and digital signatures. To help participants grasp the role and application of these primitives, the course begins by establishing a strong foundation in the core requirements of secure communication—specifically secure acknowledgment, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. It also highlights common threats to these requirements alongside practical, real-world solutions.

Given that cryptography is central to network security, the curriculum covers key algorithms in symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement. Rather than focusing on complex mathematics, these topics are explored from a developer's perspective, featuring typical use-case examples and practical considerations such as the implementation of public key infrastructures. The course introduces security protocols used across various domains of secure communication, with a detailed examination of widely adopted protocol families like IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

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

Finally, since XML technology is pivotal for data exchange in networked applications, the course addresses XML security. This includes the use of XML in web services and SOAP messages, along with protective measures like XML signature and XML encryption. It also covers weaknesses in these protection mechanisms 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 fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
• Comprehend the requirements of secure communication

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

This course not only introduces the security components of the Standard Java Edition but also addresses security challenges within Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. Before diving into specific services, it establishes a foundation in cryptography and secure communication. Through various exercises, the course covers both declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE, as well as transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services. Participants gain hands-on experience with the discussed APIs and tools through practical exercises.

The course also examines 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 covered security vulnerabilities include both language-specific issues and problems arising from the runtime environment. Each vulnerability and corresponding attack vector is demonstrated through clear, easy-to-understand exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and possible mitigation strategies.

Description

The Java programming language and its Runtime Environment (JRE) were engineered to eliminate many of the common, critical security vulnerabilities found in other languages, such as C and C++. However, software developers and architects must do more than simply utilize Java's security features (positive security); they must also recognize and mitigate the numerous vulnerabilities that remain relevant to Java development (negative security).

Before introducing security services, the course provides a concise overview of cryptographic foundations, establishing a shared baseline for understanding the purpose and functionality of the relevant components. Participants will apply their knowledge through several practical exercises, allowing them to experiment with the discussed APIs firsthand.

The curriculum also examines and explains the most frequent and severe programming flaws inherent to the Java language and platform. This includes both typical errors made by Java developers and issues specific to the language and its environment. Each vulnerability and its associated attack vectors are demonstrated through accessible exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and effective mitigation strategies.
