Developing a secure networked application can be challenging, even for developers who have previously utilized various cryptographic building blocks like encryption and digital signatures. To help participants grasp the role and application of these cryptographic primitives, we first establish a solid foundation regarding the core requirements of secure communication: secure acknowledgment, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. We also highlight typical threats that can undermine these requirements, alongside real-world solutions.

Given that cryptography is a critical component of network security, we discuss the most important algorithms in symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement. Rather than focusing on deep mathematical backgrounds, we approach these topics from a developer's perspective, providing typical use-case examples and practical considerations, such as public key infrastructures. We introduce security protocols across various areas of secure communication, offering an in-depth look at widely-used protocol families like IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

We also address common cryptographic vulnerabilities associated with specific algorithms and protocols, such as BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE, and RSA timing attacks. For each issue, we describe practical considerations and potential consequences without delving into complex mathematical details.

Finally, since XML technology is central to data exchange for networked applications, we cover XML security aspects. This includes using XML within web services and SOAP messages, along with protection measures like XML Signature and XML Encryption. We also examine weaknesses in these protections and XML-specific security issues, such as XML injection, XML External Entity (XXE) attacks, XML bombs, and XPath injection.

Participants attending this course will
