Secure Developer Java (Inc OWASP) Training Course

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.

Audience

Developers, Professionals

Developing secure C and C++ code demands a rigorous defense against malicious exploitation, memory corruption, and input validation bypasses. This program explores vulnerability patterns such as buffer overflows, use-after-free errors, integer overflows, and type confusion. Participants will apply secure coding guidelines, utilize static analysis tools, and implement defensive programming techniques to eliminate weaknesses, enforce input sanitization, and deliver hardened software resilient against cyberattacks.

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

In addition to 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 is grounded in the fundamentals of cryptography and secure communication. Various exercises focus on declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE, while both transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services are examined. Participants can gain hands-on experience with the discussed APIs and tools through several practical exercises.

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. Beyond typical bugs made by Java developers, the security vulnerabilities introduced encompass both language-specific issues and problems arising from the runtime environment. All vulnerabilities and relevant attacks are demonstrated through easy-to-understand exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and possible mitigation techniques.

Participants attending this course will

• Understand fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
