Developing a secure networked application can be challenging, even for developers familiar with cryptographic building blocks like encryption and digital signatures. To help participants grasp the role and application of these cryptographic primitives, the course begins by establishing a solid foundation on the core requirements of secure communication—secure acknowledgment, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. It also addresses common threats that compromise these requirements and presents real-world solutions.

As cryptography is central to network security, the course covers key algorithms in symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement. Rather than focusing on complex mathematics, these topics are explored from a developer’s perspective, featuring typical use-case examples and practical considerations such as public key infrastructures. The course introduces security protocols used in secure communication, offering an in-depth look at widely adopted protocol families like IPsec and SSL/TLS.

Common cryptographic vulnerabilities are discussed, covering issues related to specific algorithms and protocols such as BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE, and RSA timing attacks. For each problem, the course outlines practical implications and potential consequences without delving into deep mathematical details.

Finally, recognizing the centrality of XML technology in data exchange for networked applications, the course examines the security aspects of XML. This includes the use of XML in web services and SOAP messages, along with protection mechanisms like XML Signature and XML Encryption. It also addresses weaknesses in these protections and XML-specific security issues such as XML injection, XML External Entity (XXE) attacks, XML bombs, and XPath injection.

This course equips PHP developers with the essential skills needed to build applications that are resilient against modern internet-based threats. We explore web vulnerabilities through PHP examples, extending beyond the OWASP Top Ten to cover a wide range of issues, including various injection attacks, script injections, weaknesses in PHP session handling, insecure direct object references, file upload vulnerabilities, and more. PHP-related vulnerabilities are categorized into standard types such as missing or improper input validation, incorrect error and exception handling, misuse of security features, and time- and state-related issues. For the latter, we examine attacks like open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service via magic floats, and hash table collision attacks. In every scenario, participants will learn the key techniques and functions required to mitigate these risks.

A special emphasis is placed on client-side security, addressing security concerns related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5. We introduce several PHP extensions for security purposes, such as hash, mcrypt, and OpenSSL for cryptography, as well as Ctype, ext/filter, and HTML Purifier for input validation. Best practices for hardening are provided in the context of PHP configuration (php.ini), Apache, and general server settings. Finally, we provide an overview of various security testing tools and techniques that developers and testers can utilize, including security scanners, penetration testing and exploit packs, sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools, and static source code analyzers.

Both the introduction of vulnerabilities and the configuration practices are supported by hands-on exercises that demonstrate the consequences of successful attacks, show how to apply mitigation techniques, and introduce the use of various extensions and tools.
