Building a secure networked application can be challenging, even for developers who have previously utilised various cryptographic building blocks (such as encryption and digital signatures). To help participants grasp the role and application of these cryptographic primitives, the course first establishes a solid foundation regarding the core requirements of secure communication—specifically secure acknowledgment, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. It also outlines typical threats that can compromise these requirements, alongside practical real-world solutions.

Given that cryptography is a critical component of network security, the course examines the most important cryptographic algorithms in symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement. Rather than delving into complex mathematical theory, these topics are explored from a developer’s perspective, featuring typical use-case examples and practical considerations related to cryptography, such as public key infrastructures. Security protocols across various domains of secure communication are introduced, with an in-depth discussion of widely-used protocol families including IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

The course also addresses common cryptographic vulnerabilities, both concerning specific crypto algorithms and cryptographic protocols. Examples include BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE, and similar threats, as well as RSA timing attacks. For each issue, the practical implications and potential consequences are described, again avoiding deep mathematical analysis.

Finally, as XML technology is central to data exchange for networked applications, the security aspects of XML are detailed.

Participants apply secure coding guidelines, static analysis tools, and defensive programming techniques to eliminate weaknesses, enforce input sanitisation, and deliver hardened software resilient against cyberattacks.

Even seasoned Java developers do not necessarily master every security service provided by Java, nor are they always aware of the various vulnerabilities relevant to web applications written in Java.

This course introduces the security components of Standard Java Edition and delves into the security issues associated with Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. The discussion of specific services is preceded by an exploration of the foundations of cryptography and secure communication.

This course equips PHP developers with the vital skills needed to fortify their applications against modern internet-based threats. By utilising PHP-centric examples, the curriculum extends beyond the OWASP Top Ten to explore a range of injection attacks, script injections, vulnerabilities in PHP's session handling, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. PHP-specific vulnerabilities are categorised into standard fault types, such as inadequate or missing input validation, flawed error and exception handling, misuse of security features, and time- or state-related problems. For these latter areas, we examine attacks including open_basedir circumvention, denial-of-service via 'magic floats', and hash table collision attacks. In every instance, participants will become proficient in the key techniques and functions required to mitigate these risks.

A significant emphasis is placed on client-side security, addressing vulnerabilities within JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5. The course also introduces essential PHP security extensions, such as hash, mcrypt, and OpenSSL for cryptography, alongside Ctype, ext/filter, and HTML Purifier for robust input validation. Best practices for hardening PHP configurations (including php.ini settings), Apache, and the server environment are detailed comprehensively. Finally, an overview of various security testing tools and techniques available to developers and testers is provided, covering security scanners, penetration testing, exploit packs, sniffers, proxy servers, fuzzing tools, and static source code analyzers.

Both the explanation of vulnerabilities and the configuration practices are reinforced by numerous hands-on exercises. These demonstrations illustrate the impact of successful attacks, show how to implement mitigation techniques, and introduce the use of various extensions and tools.
