Developing a secure networked application can be challenging, even for developers who are already familiar with various cryptographic building blocks such as encryption and digital signatures. To help participants grasp the role and application of these cryptographic primitives, the course first establishes a solid foundation regarding the main requirements of secure communication—namely, secure acknowledgment, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. It also addresses the typical problems that can compromise these requirements, alongside real-world solutions.

Since 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. Rather than focusing on an in-depth mathematical background, these topics are explored from a developer's perspective, illustrating typical use-case examples and practical considerations related to crypto usage, such as public key infrastructures. The course also introduces security protocols used in various areas of secure communication, with an in-depth discussion on widely-used protocol families such as IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

Typical cryptographic vulnerabilities are discussed, both in relation to specific crypto algorithms and cryptographic protocols. Examples include BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE, and similar issues, as well as the RSA timing attack. For each problem, the practical considerations and potential consequences are described, without delving into deep mathematical details.

Finally, since XML technology is central to data exchange for networked applications, the course covers the security aspects of XML. This includes the usage of XML within web services and SOAP messages, alongside protection measures such as XML signature and XML encryption. The course also addresses weaknesses in these protection measures and XML-specific security issues, such as XML injection, XML external entity (XXE) attacks, XML bombs, and XPath injection.

Even seasoned Java developers do not always fully grasp the full spectrum of security services provided by Java, nor are they always cognizant of the diverse vulnerabilities pertinent to web applications built with Java.

Beyond introducing the security components of Standard Java Edition, this course addresses security concerns within Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. The discussion of specific services begins with the fundamental principles of cryptography and secure communication. Through a series of exercises, participants explore declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE, while also examining both transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services. The practical application of all discussed components is demonstrated through hands-on exercises, allowing participants to experiment with the relevant APIs and tools firsthand.

The course also examines and explains the most common and critical programming flaws associated with the Java language, platform, and web technologies. In addition to typical errors made by Java programmers, the identified security vulnerabilities encompass both language-specific issues and problems arising from the runtime environment. All vulnerabilities and their corresponding attack vectors are illustrated through accessible exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and potential mitigation strategies.

Description

Although the Java language and the Runtime Environment (JRE) were designed to eliminate many of the critical security vulnerabilities commonly found in other languages like C/C++, developers and architects must go beyond merely knowing how to leverage the built-in security features of Java (positive security). They must also maintain a clear awareness of the numerous vulnerabilities that remain relevant to Java development (negative security).
