- Course objectives
- At the end of this course the student will understand what the typical security issues related to secure coding are. The student will also be able to design applications and write programs in C/C++, Java and other languages in a more secure way.
- Learning outcomes
- After a course completion, the student will be able to:
- able to review source code for typical security bugs;
- able to properly check and sanitize check program input data;
- able to use standard tools for static and dynamic code analysis and interpret results;
- able to describe typical bugs from concurrent program execution and write code without it;
- able to apply systematic methods to produce code with better resiliency against bugs;
- understand basic cryptographic primitives and their proper use in source code; - Syllabus
- Language level vulnerabilities, secure programming techniques and approaches, input processing, static and dynamic code checking, binary defenses and exploits, security testing, integrity of modules, concurrent issues, random number generation and usage, security primitives, security code review.
