Secure coding in PHP Training Course

Implementing a secure networked application can be challenging, even for developers who have previously used various cryptographic building blocks (such as encryption and digital signatures). To ensure participants understand the role and usage of these cryptographic primitives, a solid foundation is provided on the main requirements of secure communication—secure acknowledgment, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. The course also presents typical problems that can compromise these requirements along with real-world solutions.

As a critical aspect of network security, cryptography is thoroughly discussed, covering the most important cryptographic algorithms in symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement. These elements are presented from a developer's perspective, focusing on practical use-case examples and considerations related to the use of crypto, such as public key infrastructures. Security protocols in various areas of secure communication are introduced, with an in-depth discussion on widely-used protocol families such as IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

Typical cryptographic vulnerabilities are examined, including issues related to certain crypto algorithms and cryptographic protocols like BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE, and similar attacks, as well as the RSA timing attack. In each case, practical considerations and potential consequences are described without delving into deep mathematical details.

Finally, since XML technology is central to data exchange in networked applications, the security aspects of XML are discussed. This includes the use of XML within web services and SOAP messages, along with protection measures such as XML signature and XML encryption—along with weaknesses in these measures and XML-specific security issues such as XML injection, XML external entity (XXE) attacks, XML bombs, and XPath injection.

Audience

Developers, Professionals

Even experienced Java programmers may not fully master all the security services provided by Java, nor are they always aware of the vulnerabilities relevant to web applications written in this language.

This course introduces the security components of Standard Java Edition and delves into the security issues of Java Enterprise Edition (JEE) and web services. Before discussing specific services, the course covers the fundamentals of cryptography and secure communication. Various exercises focus on declarative and programmatic security techniques in JEE, as well as transport-layer and end-to-end security for web services. Practical exercises allow participants to use the discussed APIs and tools firsthand.

The course also examines the most frequent and severe programming flaws in the Java language and platform, along with web-related vulnerabilities. It covers both language-specific issues and problems arising from the runtime environment. Each vulnerability and associated attack is demonstrated through straightforward exercises, followed by recommended coding guidelines and mitigation techniques.

Participants attending this course will

• Understand basic concepts of security, IT security, and secure coding for government applications
• Learn about web vulnerabilities beyond the OWASP Top Ten and how to prevent them
• Understand the security principles of web services
• Learn to utilize various security features in the Java development environment
• Gain a practical understanding of cryptography
• Understand the security solutions offered by Java EE
• Learn about common coding mistakes and how to avoid them
• Receive information on recent vulnerabilities in the Java framework
• Acquire practical knowledge in using security testing tools
• Access sources and further readings on secure coding practices
