Android serves as an open platform for mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets. While it offers a wide array of security features designed to facilitate the development of secure software, it also lacks certain security elements found on other handheld platforms. This course provides a comprehensive overview of these features, highlighting critical shortcomings related to the underlying Linux infrastructure, the file system, and the general environment. Additionally, it addresses issues associated with using permissions and other Android software development components.

The course outlines typical security pitfalls and vulnerabilities affecting both native code and Java applications, offering recommendations and best practices to prevent and mitigate them. Many discussed issues are supported by real-life examples and case studies. Finally, we provide a brief overview of how to utilize security testing tools to identify security-related programming bugs.

Building secure networked applications can be challenging, even for developers who have previously worked with various cryptographic components (such as encryption and digital signatures). To help participants grasp the role and application of these cryptographic primitives, the course begins by establishing a strong foundation on the core requirements of secure communication: secure authentication, integrity, confidentiality, remote identity verification, and anonymity. It also addresses common threats that compromise these requirements and presents practical, real-world solutions.

As cryptography is a cornerstone of network security, the course examines essential algorithms in symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement. Rather than focusing on complex mathematical theory, these topics are explored from a developer's perspective, highlighting typical use cases and practical considerations, such as public key infrastructures. The course also introduces security protocols across various domains of secure communication, with a detailed analysis of widely adopted protocol families like IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

Common cryptographic vulnerabilities are discussed, covering both specific algorithms and protocols. Examples include BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE, and RSA timing attacks. For each vulnerability, the course outlines practical implications and potential consequences, again avoiding deep mathematical derivations.

Finally, given that XML technology is central to data exchange in networked applications, the course covers XML security. This includes the use of XML in web services and SOAP messages, alongside protection mechanisms like XML Signature and XML Encryption. It also addresses weaknesses in these protections 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 fundamental concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
• Understand the requirements of secure communication
• Learn about network attacks and defenses across different OSI layers
• Gain a practical understanding of cryptography
• Understand essential security protocols
• Understand recent attacks against cryptosystems
• Gain information about some recent related vulnerabilities
• Understand security concepts of Web services
• Get sources and further readings on secure coding practices

Developers, Professionals

Over the course of three days, this program explores the fundamental principles of safeguarding C/C++ code against potential exploits by malicious actors. Participants will learn how to mitigate risks associated with memory management and input handling, while mastering the core tenets of writing robust and secure software.

Even seasoned Java programmers do not necessarily master all the security services provided by Java, nor are they always aware of the vulnerabilities relevant to Java-based web applications.

Besides introducing the security components of the Java Standard Edition, this course addresses security issues in the Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. The discussion of specific services begins with the foundations of cryptography and secure communication. Various exercises cover declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE, while the course also discusses transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services. Participants will apply all components through practical exercises, allowing them to experiment with the discussed APIs and tools firsthand.

The course also reviews 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 security vulnerabilities covered include both language-specific issues and problems arising from the runtime environment. All vulnerabilities and the corresponding attacks are demonstrated through easy-to-understand exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and possible mitigation techniques.

Participants attending this course will

• Understand basic concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding
• Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and know how to avoid them

Description

Both the Java programming language and the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) were designed to eliminate the most problematic common security vulnerabilities found in other languages, such as C and C++. However, software developers and architects must do more than simply learn how to leverage the positive security features of the Java environment; they must also remain vigilant regarding the numerous vulnerabilities that continue to impact Java development (negative security).

Before introducing security services, the course provides a concise overview of cryptographic foundations, establishing a common baseline for understanding the purpose and operation of applicable components. The practical application of these components is demonstrated through several hands-on exercises, allowing participants to experiment with the discussed APIs firsthand.

The curriculum also examines and explains the most frequent and severe programming flaws inherent to the Java language and platform, addressing both typical errors made by Java programmers and issues specific to the language and its environment. All vulnerabilities and relevant attack vectors are illustrated through accessible exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and potential mitigation strategies.

Participants attending this course will
