Course Outline
1. IT Security and Secure Coding
- Fundamental Security Principles: Applying Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) concepts to Java applications.
- Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC): Embedding security considerations from the requirements phase through to deployment.
- Secure Coding Paradigms: Implementing defense in depth, least privilege, and fail-safe defaults.
- Standard Vulnerability Classifications: Navigating CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) and OWASP standards.
2. Web Application Security
- Deep Dive into OWASP Top Ten: Detailed examination of Injection, Broken Authentication, and Sensitive Data Exposure.
- Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Analyzing Reflected, Stored, and DOM-based XSS scenarios in Java/JSP environments.
- Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF): Understanding attack mechanisms and implementing Anti-CSRF token strategies.
- Session Management: Securing cookies, preventing session fixation, and managing timeouts effectively.
- API Security: Hardening REST and SOAP endpoints against unauthorized access and abuse.
3. Web Services Security
- Web Services vs. Traditional Web Apps: Comparing differences in attack surfaces.
- Transport Layer Security: Configuring SSL/TLS for Java clients and servers.
- Message Security: Ensuring Integrity and Confidentiality at the payload level.
- Authentication Standards: Implementing OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and JWT (JSON Web Tokens).
4. XML Security
- XML Parsing Vulnerabilities: Preventing XML External Entity (XXE) attacks.
- XML Schema Validation: Enforcing strict schema practices to enhance security.
- XML Digital Signatures: Implementing signatures to guarantee non-repudiation.
- XML Encryption: Applying standard methods for encrypting XML content.
5. Foundations of Java Security
- The Java Security Architecture: Exploring the
java.securitypackage and its provider-based design. - Security Providers: Installing and configuring providers such as Bouncy Castle.
- Access Control: Managing policy files, Permissions, and the Security Manager (Legacy vs. Modern approaches).
- KeyStore Management: Creating and maintaining keystores and truststores for certificate handling.
6. Practical Cryptography
- Cryptographic Algorithms: Overview of Symmetric (AES), Asymmetric (RSA, ECC), and Hashing (SHA-256/512) standards.
- Random Number Generation: Understanding the risks of
java.util.Randomversus the security ofjava.security.SecureRandom. - Key Management: Strategies for key generation, storage, and rotation.
- Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA): Utilizing
Cipher,MessageDigest, andMacclasses. - Java Cryptography Extension (JCE): Understanding policy files and unlimited strength jurisdiction configurations.
7. Java Security Services
- SSL/TLS in Java: Leveraging
SSLSocketFactoryandHttpsURLConnection. - Trust Managers: Customizing trust verification for private PKI environments.
- Authenticators: Implementing programmatic authentication using
Authenticator.getDefault(). - Certificate Parsing: Reading and analyzing X.509 certificates programmatically.
8. Java EE Security
- Declarative Security: Implementing Role-based access control (RBAC) via
web.xmland annotations. - Programmatic Security: Utilizing
HttpServletRequest.isUserInRole()andgetRemoteUser(). - JAAS (Java Authentication and Authorization Service): Configuring
login.confand implementingLoginModules. - Servlet Security: Managing container-level security constraints and authentication methods (FORM, BASIC, DIGEST).
9. Common Coding Errors and Vulnerabilities
- Insecure Deserialization: Mitigating risks associated with
ObjectInputStreamand bypassing security checks. - Command Injection: Preventing OS-level execution vulnerabilities.
- Path Traversal: Sanitizing file system inputs to block directory traversal attacks.
- Reflection Abuse: Addressing risks related to
java.lang.reflectand circumventing access controls. - Hardcoded Credentials: Identifying and eliminating secrets from source code.
- Cryptography Implementation Errors: Avoiding weak configurations like ECB mode, low-bit keys, or static IVs.
10. Knowledge Sources
- Static Analysis Tools: Utilizing SonarQube, Checkmarx, and Fortify for automated code scanning.
- Dynamic Analysis Tools: Overview of Burp Suite and OWASP ZAP.
- CVE Databases: Strategies for tracking and responding to new Java framework vulnerabilities.
- Recommended Readings: A list of books, documentation, and secure coding checklists for further study.
