Building a secure networked application can be challenging, even for developers who have previously utilized various cryptographic components like encryption and digital signatures. To help participants grasp the role and application of these cryptographic primitives, the course first establishes a strong foundation on the core requirements of secure communication—including secure acknowledgment, integrity, confidentiality, remote authentication, and anonymity. It also outlines common threats that can compromise these requirements alongside real-world mitigation strategies.

Given that cryptography is a critical component of network security, the course examines essential cryptographic algorithms, including symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement protocols. Rather than focusing on complex mathematical theories, the material is presented from a developer's perspective, featuring typical use-case examples and practical considerations such as public key infrastructure (PKI). Additionally, security protocols across various domains of secure communication are introduced, with a detailed examination of widely adopted protocol families like IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

The course addresses common cryptographic vulnerabilities associated with specific algorithms and protocols, such as BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE, and RSA timing attacks. For each issue, practical implications and potential consequences are explained without delving into deep mathematical details.

Finally, since XML technology is central to data exchange in networked applications, the course covers XML security aspects. This includes the use of XML in web services and SOAP messages, protection mechanisms like XML Signature and XML Encryption, and potential weaknesses in these measures. XML-specific security issues such as XML injection, XML external entity (XXE) attacks, XML bombs, and XPath injection are also discussed.
