Secure Developer Java (Inc OWASP) Training Course

Developing a secure networked application can be challenging, even for developers who have prior experience with cryptographic building blocks such as encryption and digital signatures. To help participants grasp the role and application of these cryptographic primitives, this course first establishes a solid foundation regarding the core requirements of secure communication—namely, secure acknowledgment, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. It also addresses common threats that compromise these requirements, alongside practical real-world solutions.

Given that cryptography is a critical component of network security, the course covers essential algorithms in symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement. Rather than focusing on complex mathematical theories, these topics are examined from a developer’s perspective, highlighting typical use cases and practical considerations, such as the implementation of public key infrastructures. The course also introduces security protocols across various domains of secure communication, with detailed discussions on widely used protocol families like IPsec and SSL/TLS.

Typical cryptographic vulnerabilities associated with specific algorithms and protocols are explored, including BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE, and RSA timing attacks. For each issue, the practical implications and potential consequences are outlined, avoiding deep mathematical derivations.

Finally, since XML technology is central to data exchange in networked applications, the security aspects of XML are thoroughly described. This includes the use of XML in web services and SOAP messages, along with protective measures like XML Signature and XML Encryption. The course also covers weaknesses in these protection mechanisms and XML-specific security issues, such as XML injection, XML External Entity (XXE) attacks, XML bombs, and XPath injection.

Audience

Developers, Professionals

Developing secure C and C++ applications demands robust defenses against malicious exploitation, memory corruption, and input validation bypasses. This course explores common vulnerability patterns such as buffer overflows, use-after-free errors, integer overflows, and type confusion. Participants will implement secure coding standards, leverage static analysis tools, and apply defensive programming strategies to eliminate weaknesses, enforce rigorous input sanitization, and build hardened software capable of withstanding cyberattacks.

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

This course not only introduces the security components of Standard Java Edition but also addresses security issues related to Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. The discussion of specific services is grounded in the fundamentals of cryptography and secure communication. Through various exercises, participants explore declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE, along with both transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services. Practical exercises demonstrate the use of all components, 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 programmers, the covered security vulnerabilities include language-specific issues and problems arising from the runtime environment. All vulnerabilities and their associated attacks are illustrated through easy-to-understand exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and potential mitigation techniques.

Participants attending this course will
