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. This includes the use of XML within web services and SOAP messages, along with protection mechanisms such as XML Signature and XML Encryption. It also examines weaknesses in these protection measures and XML-specific security issues like XML injection, XML External Entity (XXE) attacks, XML bombs, and XPath injection.

Developers, Professionals

Developing secure C and C++ applications demands rigorous safeguards against malicious exploitation, memory corruption, and input validation bypasses. This course explores common vulnerability patterns such as buffer overflows, use-after-free errors, integer overflows, and type confusion. Participants will implement secure coding guidelines, leverage static analysis tools, and apply defensive programming techniques to eliminate weaknesses, enforce input sanitization, and build software that is resilient against cyber threats.

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

This course covers not only the security components of Standard Java Edition but also addresses security challenges in Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. Before diving into specific services, the course establishes the foundations of cryptography and secure communication. A series of exercises explores both declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE, while the course examines transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services. Participants engage in practical exercises to apply the discussed APIs and tools firsthand.

The course also reviews and explains the most common and critical programming flaws in the Java language and platform, as well as web-related vulnerabilities. Beyond typical errors made by Java programmers, the security vulnerabilities covered include both language-specific issues and problems arising from the runtime environment. All vulnerabilities and their associated attacks are demonstrated through accessible exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and mitigation strategies.

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 desired security features, prevent vulnerabilities, or limit their exploitation.

This course aims to train developers through extensive hands-on exercises. Participants will learn how to prevent untrusted code from executing privileged actions, protect resources via strong authentication and authorization, manage remote procedure calls, handle sessions, and implement various functional alternatives, among other skills.

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

This course equips PHP developers with the essential skills needed to build applications that are resilient against modern Internet-based threats. It explores web vulnerabilities through practical PHP examples, extending beyond the OWASP Top Ten to address a wide range of injection attacks, script injections, session handling weaknesses, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. PHP-specific vulnerabilities are categorized into standard types, such as missing or inadequate input validation, incorrect error and exception handling, misuse of security features, and time- or state-related flaws. Specific attacks discussed include open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service via magic float, and hash table collision attacks. In each scenario, participants will learn the critical techniques and functions required to mitigate these risks.

A dedicated focus is placed on client-side security, addressing issues related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5. The course introduces various PHP security extensions, including hash, mcrypt, and OpenSSL for cryptography, as well as Ctype, ext/filter, and HTML Purifier for input validation.
