Securing Java Web Services | Java Web Services Security (TT8500-J)

Securing Java Web Services course will help you to learn the skills required to recognize actual and potential software vulnerabilities, implement defenses for those vulnerabilities, and test those defenses for sufficiency.  This course quickly introduces developers to the most common security vulnerabilities faced by web applications today. In this course you will learn about:

· Understand the consequences for not properly handling untrusted data such as denial of service, cross-site scripting, and injections

· Be able to test web applications with various attack techniques to determine the existence of and effectiveness of layered defenses

· Prevent and defend the many potential vulnerabilities associated with untrusted data

· Understand the concepts and terminology behind supporting, designing, and deploying secure services

· Appreciate the magnitude of the problems associated with service security and the potential risks associated with those problems

· Understand the currently accepted best practices for supporting the many security needs of services.

· Understand the vulnerabilities associated with authentication and authorization within the context of web services

· Be able to detect, attack, and implement defenses for authentication and authorization functionality

· Understand the dangers and mechanisms behind Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and Injection attacks

· Be able to detect, attack, and implement defenses against XSS and Injection attacks

· Understand the concepts and terminology behind defensive, secure, coding

· Understand the use of Threat Modeling as a tool in identifying software vulnerabilities based on realistic threats against meaningful assets

· Perform both static code reviews and dynamic application testing to uncover vulnerabilities in Java-based web services

· Design and develop strong, robust authentication and authorization implementations within the context of JEE

· Understand the fundamentals of XML Digital Signature as well as how it can be used as part of the defensive infrastructure for web services

· Understand the fundamentals of XML Encryption as well as how it can be used as part of the defensive infrastructure for web services

· Understand and defend vulnerabilities that are specific to XML and XML parsers
