Implementing a secure networked application can be challenging, even for developers who have prior experience with cryptographic building blocks such as encryption and digital signatures. To ensure participants grasp the role and usage of these cryptographic primitives, the course first establishes a solid foundation on the core requirements of secure communication—including secure acknowledgment, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. It also highlights typical threats that can compromise these requirements, alongside real-world solutions.

Given that cryptography is a critical aspect of network security, the course discusses essential cryptographic algorithms in symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement. Rather than focusing on in-depth mathematical theory, these concepts are presented from a developer's perspective, featuring typical use-case examples and practical considerations such as public key infrastructures. Security protocols relevant to various areas of secure communication are introduced, with a detailed exploration of widely used protocol families like IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

The course also addresses common cryptographic vulnerabilities associated with specific algorithms and protocols, including 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 complex mathematical details.

Finally, as XML technology plays a central role in data exchange for networked applications, the course covers the security aspects of XML.

It focuses on addressing vulnerabilities related to memory management and input handling, equipping participants with the essential knowledge needed to write robust and secure software.

Even seasoned Java developers do not necessarily master all the security services provided by Java, nor are they always fully aware of the vulnerabilities relevant to web applications written in Java.

In addition to introducing the security components of Standard Java Edition, this course addresses security issues in Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. The discussion of specific services is preceded by an exploration of cryptography foundations and secure communication. Various exercises cover declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE, while both transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services are examined. All components are demonstrated through practical exercises, allowing participants to personally experiment with the discussed APIs and tools.

The course also reviews and explains the most common and severe programming flaws in the Java language and platform, along with web-related vulnerabilities. Beyond the typical errors made by Java programmers, the introduced security vulnerabilities encompass both language-specific issues and problems arising from the runtime environment. All vulnerabilities and associated attacks are illustrated through accessible exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and potential mitigation techniques.

Description

The Java language and its Runtime Environment (JRE) were engineered to eliminate the most prevalent and dangerous security vulnerabilities commonly found in other languages, such as C and C++. However, software developers and architects must do more than simply utilize the positive security features available within the Java ecosystem; they must also maintain a keen awareness of the numerous vulnerabilities that remain pertinent to Java development, often referred to as 'negative security.'

The course introduces security services by first providing a concise overview of cryptographic foundations. This establishes a common baseline for understanding the purpose and mechanics of the relevant components. Participants will apply this knowledge through practical exercises, allowing them to experiment with the discussed APIs firsthand.

Furthermore, the course examines 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. All vulnerabilities and corresponding attack vectors are illustrated through accessible exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and effective mitigation strategies.
