Developing a secure networked application presents challenges, even for developers familiar with cryptographic building blocks like encryption and digital signatures. To clarify the role and usage of these primitives, this course establishes a solid foundation on the core requirements of secure communication—namely, secure acknowledgement, integrity, confidentiality, remote identification, and anonymity. It also addresses typical issues that can compromise these requirements alongside real-world solutions.

Given that cryptography is central to network security, the course covers essential algorithms in symmetric cryptography, hashing, asymmetric cryptography, and key agreement. Rather than delving into complex mathematics, these topics are explored from a developer's perspective, highlighting practical use-case examples and considerations such as public key infrastructures (PKI). The course introduces security protocols across various domains of secure communication, with a detailed focus on widely used protocol families like IPSEC and SSL/TLS.

Common cryptographic vulnerabilities are examined in relation to specific algorithms and protocols, including BEAST, CRIME, TIME, BREACH, FREAK, Logjam, Padding oracle, Lucky Thirteen, POODLE, and RSA timing attacks. For each issue, practical implications and potential consequences are described without excessive mathematical detail.

Finally, as XML technology is pivotal for data exchange in networked applications, the course outlines its security aspects. This covers XML usage within web services and SOAP messages, alongside protection mechanisms like XML Signature and XML Encryption.
