Implementing a secure networked application can be challenging, even for developers who have previously used various cryptographic building blocks like encryption and digital signatures. To help participants grasp the role and usage of these cryptographic primitives, the course first establishes a solid foundation on the main requirements of secure communication – including secure acknowledgment, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. It also presents typical problems that can undermine these requirements along with real-world solutions.

Since cryptography is a critical aspect of network security, the course discusses the most important algorithms in symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement. Rather than focusing on deep mathematical background, these concepts are explored from a developer's perspective, illustrating typical use-case examples and practical considerations related to cryptography, such as public key infrastructures. Various security protocols across different areas of secure communication are introduced, with a detailed discussion on widely-used protocol families like IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

Typical crypto vulnerabilities are discussed, covering both specific algorithms and protocols. This includes issues such as BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE, and others, as well as RSA timing attacks. For each issue, practical considerations and potential consequences are described, again without delving into complex mathematical details.

Finally, given that XML technology is central for data exchange by 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.
