Implementing a secure networked application can be challenging, even for developers who have previously utilized various cryptographic building blocks (such as encryption and digital signatures). To help participants grasp the role and application of these cryptographic primitives, a solid foundation is first laid regarding the core requirements of secure communication: secure acknowledgment, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. This includes presenting typical problems that can undermine these requirements alongside real-world solutions.

Given that cryptography is a critical aspect of network security, the most important cryptographic algorithms in symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement are also discussed. Rather than presenting an in-depth mathematical background, these elements are explored from a developer's perspective, illustrating typical use-case examples and practical considerations related to cryptography, such as public key infrastructures. Security protocols in various areas of secure communication are introduced, with an in-depth discussion on the most widely-used protocol families, such as IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

Typical cryptographic vulnerabilities are discussed, both in relation to certain crypto algorithms and cryptographic protocols (e.g., BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE, and similar), as well as the RSA timing attack. In each case, the practical considerations and potential consequences of each problem are described, again, without delving into deep mathematical details.

Finally, as XML technology is central to data exchange for networked applications, the security aspects of XML are described. This includes the usage of XML within web services and SOAP messages, alongside protection measures such as XML signature and XML encryption. The discussion also covers 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
• Understand the requirements of secure communication
• Learn about network attacks and defenses at different OSI layers
• Have a practical understanding of cryptography

Even seasoned Java developers do not always fully master the diverse security services provided by Java, nor are they always aware of the various vulnerabilities pertinent to web applications built in Java.

This course introduces the security components of the Java Standard Edition while addressing security issues within Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. Discussions of specific services are grounded in the fundamentals of cryptography and secure communication. A variety of exercises focus on declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE, and both transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services are examined. The practical application of these components is illustrated through several hands-on exercises, allowing participants to experiment with the discussed APIs and tools firsthand.

The course also covers and explains the most common and severe programming flaws associated with the Java language and platform, as well as web-related vulnerabilities. In addition to typical errors made by Java programmers, the introduced security vulnerabilities encompass language-specific issues and problems arising from the runtime environment. All vulnerabilities and associated attacks are demonstrated through accessible exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and potential mitigation techniques.

Description

The Java language and the Runtime Environment (JRE) were designed to eliminate many of the common, problematic security vulnerabilities found in other languages, such as C/C++. However, software developers and architects must not only master the security features available in the Java environment (positive security) but also remain vigilant regarding the numerous vulnerabilities that still pose risks to Java development (negative security).
