Android is an open-source platform designed for mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets. While it offers a wide range of security features to simplify the development of secure software, it lacks certain security mechanisms found in other mobile platforms. This course provides a comprehensive overview of these features, highlighting critical shortcomings related to the underlying Linux kernel, the file system, and the general environment, as well as the use of permissions and other Android development components.

Common security pitfalls and vulnerabilities affecting both native code and Java applications are examined, along with recommendations and best practices to prevent and mitigate them. Many of the discussed issues are illustrated with real-world examples and case studies. Additionally, the course offers a brief overview of how to utilize security testing tools to identify potential security-related programming errors.

Participants attending this course will

• Gain a solid understanding of fundamental security concepts, IT security, and secure coding principles

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, the course first establishes a solid foundation on the core requirements of secure communication – secure acknowledgement, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. It also highlights typical issues that can compromise these requirements and presents 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. Instead of delving into an in-depth mathematical background, these elements are examined from a developer's perspective, illustrating typical use-case examples and practical considerations related to crypto usage, such as public key infrastructures. The course introduces security protocols across various areas of secure communication, with an in-depth discussion on the most widely used protocol families, such as IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

Typical crypto vulnerabilities are examined, both concerning specific crypto algorithms and cryptographic protocols, such as BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE, and others, as well as the RSA timing attack. For each issue, practical considerations and potential consequences are described, again without going into deep mathematical details.

Finally, as XML technology is central to data exchange in 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 – as well as weaknesses in those 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
• Acquire a practical understanding of cryptography
• Understand essential security protocols
• Understand some recent attacks against cryptosystems
• Get information about some recent related vulnerabilities
• Understand security concepts of Web services
• Get sources and further readings on secure coding practices

Developers, Professionals

Spanning three days, this course introduces the fundamental principles of writing secure C and C++ code. It focuses on defending against malicious users who may exploit vulnerabilities related to memory management and input handling.

Even seasoned Java developers often lack comprehensive mastery of the full range of security services provided by Java, as well as the various vulnerabilities that impact web applications built with Java.

In addition to introducing the security components of the Standard Java Edition, this course addresses security challenges within the Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. The discussion of specific services is grounded in the fundamentals of cryptography and secure communication. Through a series of exercises, participants explore declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE, while also examining transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services. The practical application of these components is demonstrated through hands-on exercises, allowing participants to experiment directly with the discussed APIs and tools.

The course also covers 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 developers, the security vulnerabilities addressed include both language-specific issues and problems arising from the runtime environment. All vulnerabilities and associated attacks are illustrated through accessible exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and potential mitigation strategies.
