Secure Developer Java (Inc OWASP) Training Course

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.

Developers, Professionals

Developing secure C and C++ applications demands robust protection against malicious exploitation, memory corruption, and the circumvention of input validation. This program explores common vulnerability patterns such as buffer overflows, use-after-free errors, integer overflows, and type confusion. Participants will learn to apply secure coding standards, utilize static analysis tools, and implement defensive programming practices to eliminate weaknesses, ensure proper input sanitization, and build software that is resilient against cyber threats.

Even seasoned Java developers often struggle to fully master the extensive array of security services provided by Java, while also remaining unaware of the diverse vulnerabilities that can affect web applications built with Java.

In addition to introducing the security components of the Standard Java Edition, this course addresses security concerns within Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. The discussion begins with the foundational principles of cryptography and secure communication before moving on to specific services. Various exercises focus on declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE, while covering both transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services. Participants will gain hands-on experience through practical exercises, allowing them to explore the discussed APIs and tools firsthand.

The course also examines and explains the most common and severe programming flaws associated with the Java language and platform, as well as web-related vulnerabilities. Beyond typical errors made by Java programmers, the covered security vulnerabilities include language-specific issues and problems arising from the runtime environment. All vulnerabilities and related attack vectors are demonstrated through clear, easy-to-understand exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and possible mitigation techniques.

Participants attending this course will

• Grasp the basic concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
• Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and understand how to avoid them
