Course Outline
1. IT security and secure coding
- Core Security Principles: Applying Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) to Java applications.
- Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC): Embedding security considerations from requirements gathering through to deployment.
- Secure Coding Paradigms: Implementing defense in depth, least privilege, and fail-safe defaults.
- Standard Vulnerability Classifications: Interpreting CWE (Common Weakness Enumeration) and OWASP standards.
2. Web application security
- In-Depth Analysis of OWASP Top Ten: Detailed examination of Injection, Broken Authentication, and Sensitive Data Exposure.
- Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Managing Reflected, Stored, and DOM-based XSS scenarios in Java/JSP.
- Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF): Understanding attack mechanisms and implementing Anti-CSRF tokens.
- Session Management: Ensuring cookie security, preventing session fixation, and managing timeouts.
- API Security: Protecting REST and SOAP endpoints from abuse.
3. Security of Web services
- Web Services vs. Traditional Web Apps: Analyzing 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: Best practices for enforcing strict schema compliance.
- XML Digital Signatures: Using signatures to guarantee non-repudiation.
- XML Encryption: Standard methods for encrypting XML content.
5. Foundations of Java security
- The Java Security Architecture: Exploring the
java.securitypackage and its provider architecture. - Security Providers: Installing and configuring providers such as Bouncy Castle.
- Access Control: Managing policy files, Permissions, and the Security Manager (comparing Legacy and Modern approaches).
- KeyStore Management: Creating and maintaining keystores and truststores for certificates.
6. Practical cryptography
- Cryptographic Algorithms: Overview of Symmetric (AES), Asymmetric (RSA, ECC), and Hashing (SHA-256/512) algorithms.
- Random Number Generation: Assessing the risks of
java.util.Randomcompared tojava.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.
7. Java security services
- SSL/TLS in Java: Utilizing
SSLSocketFactoryandHttpsURLConnection. - Trust Managers: Customizing trust verification for private PKI environments.
- Authenticators: Performing programmatic authentication using
Authenticator.getDefault(). - Certificate Parsing: Programmatically reading and analyzing X.509 certificates.
8. Java EE security
- Declarative Security: Implementing Role-based access control (RBAC) via
web.xmland annotations. - Programmatic Security: Leveraging
HttpServletRequest.isUserInRole()andgetRemoteUser(). - JAAS (Java Authentication and Authorization Service): Configuring
login.confand implementingLoginModules. - Servlet Security: Managing container-managed security constraints and authentication methods (FORM, BASIC, DIGEST).
9. Common coding errors and vulnerabilities
- Insecure Deserialization: Addressing the risks of
ObjectInputStreamand potential security check bypasses. - Command Injection: Mitigating OS-level execution vulnerabilities.
- Path Traversal: Sanitizing file system inputs to prevent directory traversal attacks.
- Reflection Abuse: Managing risks associated with
java.lang.reflectand access control bypasses. - Hardcoded Credentials: Identifying and eliminating secrets from source code.
- Cryptography Implementation Errors: Avoiding the use of ECB mode, weak keys, or static IVs.
10. Knowledge sources
- Static Analysis Tools: Utilizing SonarQube, Checkmarx, and Fortify for automated scanning.
- Dynamic Analysis Tools: Overview of Burp Suite and OWASP ZAP.
- CVE Databases: Tracking and responding to new Java framework vulnerabilities.
- Recommended Readings: A curated list of books, documentation, and secure coding checklists.
