Course Outline
1. IT Security and Secure Coding
- Fundamental Security Principles: Applying Confidentiality, Integrity, and Availability (CIA) to Java applications.
- Secure Software Development Lifecycle (SSDLC): Integrating security considerations from the requirements phase through to deployment.
- Secure Coding Paradigms: Implementing defence in depth, least privilege, and fail-safe defaults.
- Standard Vulnerability Classifications: Understanding the Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) and OWASP standards.
2. Web Application Security
- Deep Dive into the OWASP Top Ten: Detailed analysis of Injection, Broken Authentication, and Sensitive Data Exposure.
- Cross-Site Scripting (XSS): Examining 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: Addressing cookie security, session fixation, and timeout management.
- API Security: Protecting REST and SOAP endpoints against misuse.
3. Security of Web Services
- Web Services vs. Traditional Web Apps: Analysing 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 validation.
- XML Digital Signatures: Implementing signatures to ensure non-repudiation.
- XML Encryption: Standard approaches for encrypting XML content.
5. Foundations of Java Security
- The Java Security Architecture: The
java.securitypackage and provider architecture. - Security Providers: Installing and configuring providers such as Bouncy Castle.
- Access Control: Managing policy files, Permissions, and the Security Manager (Legacy vs. Modern).
- KeyStore Management: Creating and managing 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: Distinguishing between the risks of
java.util.Randomand the benefits ofjava.security.SecureRandom. - Key Management: Strategies for key generation, storage, and rotation.
- Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA): Utilising
Cipher,MessageDigest, andMacclasses. - Java Cryptography Extension (JCE): Understanding policy files and unlimited strength jurisdiction.
7. Java Security Services
- SSL/TLS in Java: Utilising
SSLSocketFactoryandHttpsURLConnection. - Trust Managers: Customising trust verification for private PKI environments.
- Authenticators: Programmatic authentication using
Authenticator.getDefault(). - Certificate Parsing: Reading and analysing X.509 certificates programmatically.
8. Java EE Security
- Declarative Security: Role-based access control (RBAC) using
web.xmland annotations. - Programmatic Security: Using
HttpServletRequest.isUserInRole()andgetRemoteUser(). - JAAS (Java Authentication and Authorization Service): Configuring
login.confand implementingLoginModules. - Servlet Security: Container-managed security constraints and authentication methods (FORM, BASIC, DIGEST).
9. Common Coding Errors and Vulnerabilities
- Insecure Deserialization: Addressing the risks of
ObjectInputStreamand bypassing security checks. - Command Injection: Mitigating OS-level execution vulnerabilities.
- Path Traversal: Sanitising file system inputs to prevent directory traversal.
- Reflection Abuse: Risks associated with
java.lang.reflectand bypassing access control. - Hardcoded Credentials: Identifying and removing secrets from source code.
- Cryptography Implementation Errors: Avoiding the use of ECB mode, weak keys, or static IVs.
10. Knowledge Sources
- Static Analysis Tools: Utilising 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 list of books, documentation, and secure coding checklists.
