Even experienced programmers may not fully master the security services provided by their development platforms, nor are they always aware of the vulnerabilities pertinent to their applications. This course is designed for developers using both Java and PHP, equipping them with essential skills to enhance the resilience of their applications against modern Internet-based attacks.

The curriculum delves into the layers of Java security architecture, addressing topics such as access control, authentication, authorization, secure communication, and cryptographic functions. For PHP, various APIs are introduced for securing code, including OpenSSL for cryptography and HTML Purifier for input validation. On the server side, best practices for hardening and configuring the operating system, web container, file system, SQL server, and PHP itself are covered. Special attention is given to client-side security, exploring issues related to JavaScript, Ajax, and HTML5.

General web vulnerabilities are discussed with examples aligned to the OWASP Top Ten, covering various injection attacks, script injections, session handling attacks, insecure direct object references, file upload issues, and more. The course also addresses Java- and PHP-specific language problems and runtime environment issues, categorized into standard vulnerability types such as missing or improper input validation, misuse of security features, incorrect error and exception handling, time- and state-related problems, code quality issues, and vulnerabilities related to mobile code.

Participants will have the opportunity to experiment with APIs, tools, and configurations firsthand. The introduction of vulnerabilities is supported by hands-on exercises that demonstrate the consequences of successful attacks, show how to correct bugs and apply mitigation techniques, and introduce various extensions and tools.

Upon completing this course, participants 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
• Gain knowledge of client-side vulnerabilities and secure coding practices
• Learn to utilize various security features in the Java development environment
