Implementing a secure networked application can be challenging, even for developers who have previously worked with various cryptographic components like encryption and digital signatures. To ensure participants grasp the role and usage of these cryptographic elements, we start by laying a solid foundation on the primary requirements of secure communication—secure acknowledgment, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. We also address typical issues that can compromise these requirements and present real-world solutions.

Given that cryptography is a critical aspect of network security, we delve into the most important cryptographic algorithms in symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement. Rather than delving into complex mathematical theories, these elements are discussed from a developer's perspective, with practical use-case examples and considerations related to implementing cryptographic solutions, such as public key infrastructures. We introduce security protocols across various secure communication areas, focusing on widely-used protocol families like IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

We discuss common cryptographic vulnerabilities associated with specific algorithms and protocols, including BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE, and similar issues, as well as the RSA timing attack. For each vulnerability, we describe practical implications and potential consequences without diving into deep mathematical details.

Since XML technology is central to data exchange in networked applications, we explore the security aspects of XML. This includes its use within web services and SOAP messages, along with protection measures like XML signatures and XML encryption. We also examine weaknesses in these protection measures 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 basic concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
• Comprehend the requirements for secure communication
• Learn about network attacks and defenses at different OSI layers
• Gain a practical understanding of cryptography
• Understand essential security protocols
• Be aware of recent attacks against cryptosystems
• Receive information on recent related vulnerabilities
• Understand the security concepts of Web services
• Get sources and further readings on secure coding practices

This three-day course provides an overview of securing C/C++ code to protect against malicious users who might exploit vulnerabilities related to memory management and input handling. The course delves into the principles of writing secure code.

Even experienced Java programmers may not fully grasp all the security features provided by Java, nor are they always aware of the various vulnerabilities that can affect web applications built with Java.

This course covers more than just the security components of Standard Java Edition; it delves into the security challenges of Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. Before diving into specific services, the course provides a foundation in cryptography and secure communication. Practical exercises explore both declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE, as well as transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services. Participants will engage in several hands-on exercises to familiarize themselves with the APIs and tools discussed.

The course also examines and explains the most common and critical programming flaws in the Java language and platform, along with web-related vulnerabilities. It covers not only typical bugs made by Java programmers but also issues specific to the language and problems arising from the runtime environment. Each vulnerability and attack is demonstrated through straightforward exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and mitigation techniques.

Participants attending this course will

• Understand fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
• Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and how to prevent them
