Android serves as an open platform for mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets. It offers a wide array of security features to simplify the development of secure software; however, it also lacks certain security aspects found in other handheld platforms. This course provides a comprehensive overview of these features while highlighting critical shortcomings related to the underlying Linux system, the file system, and the general environment, as well as the use of permissions and other Android software development components.

Typical security pitfalls and vulnerabilities are described for both native code and Java applications, along with recommendations and best practices to avoid and mitigate them. In many cases, discussed issues are supported by real-life examples and case studies. Finally, we provide a brief overview on how to use security testing tools to reveal any security-related programming bugs.

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.

Participants attending this course will

• Understand basic concepts of security, IT security and secure coding
• Understand the requirements of secure communication
• Learn about network attacks and defenses at different OSI layers
• Have a practical understanding of cryptography
• Understand essential security protocols
• Understand some recent attacks against cryptosystems

This three-day course introduces the fundamental principles of securing C/C++ code against malicious actors who might exploit vulnerabilities related to memory management and input handling. Participants will learn the key practices for writing secure software.

Even seasoned Java developers often do not fully master the array of security services provided by Java, nor are they always aware of the various vulnerabilities that impact web applications built with Java.

This course goes beyond introducing the security components of Standard Java Edition; it also addresses security concerns in Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. Discussions on specific services are grounded in the fundamentals of cryptography and secure communication. Through various exercises, participants will explore declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE, as well as transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services. The use of all these components is demonstrated through practical exercises, allowing participants to experiment with the discussed APIs and tools firsthand.

The course also examines and explains the most common and severe programming flaws in the Java language and platform, as well as web-related vulnerabilities. In addition to typical bugs made by Java developers, the covered security vulnerabilities address both language-specific issues and problems arising from the runtime environment. All vulnerabilities and corresponding attacks are illustrated through easy-to-understand exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and possible mitigation techniques.

Participants attending this course will

• Understand the basic concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
• Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and how to avoid them
• Understand the security concepts of web services
• Learn how to use various security features of the Java development environment
• Gain a practical understanding of cryptography
• Understand security solutions in Java EE

Description

The Java language and the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) were designed to minimize the most problematic common security vulnerabilities found in other languages, such as C/C++. However, software developers and architects must do more than just learn how to use the various security features available in the Java environment (positive security); they must also be aware of the numerous vulnerabilities that remain relevant to Java development (negative security).

The introduction to security services begins with a brief overview of cryptography fundamentals, providing a common baseline for understanding the purpose and operation of the applicable components. The use of these components is demonstrated through several practical exercises, allowing participants to experiment with the discussed APIs firsthand.

The course also reviews and explains the most frequent and severe programming flaws associated with the Java language and platform, covering both typical bugs committed by Java programmers and issues specific to the language and environment. All vulnerabilities and relevant attacks are demonstrated through easy-to-understand exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and possible mitigation techniques.
