Java Development for Secure Systems Training Overview

Accelebrate's Java Development for Secure Systems training teaches attendees the broad range of Java security challenges and how to successfully remedy them. This course starts with basic concepts of code security - what the Java SE runtime does to protect the system from Java code, and Java code from other Java code - and good secure-coding practices. It then takes students through exercises in basic cryptography skills using the appropriate Java API. Finally, it moves on to enterprise software and the issues related to component-based architectures such as Web applications, EJBs, and Java^® messaging components.

Java Development for Secure Systems Training Prerequisites

Solid Java programming experience is assumed - both structured and object-oriented techniques. Accelebrate's Core Java is excellent preparation for this course.
Some knowledge of Java EE architecture and development is also required, though extensive practical experience with Java EE development is not strictly necessary.

Hands-on/Lecture Ratio

This Java training course is 70% hands-on, 30% lecture, with the longest lecture segments lasting for 20 minutes.

Java Development for Secure Systems Training Materials

All attendees will receive comprehensive courseware.

Java Development for Secure Systems Training Objectives

All attendees will learn how to:

Understand how the Java language and standard-platform architecture solve many low-level security problems for all Java code.
Design and implement security policies for Java applications, servers, and components.
Manage keys and certificates for a Java application, and sign code sources as necessary.
Practice secure design and coding, and balance usability with security in UI and API.
Sign and verify application data and messages using the JCA, and encrypt/decrypt using the JCE.
Incorporate JAAS authentication into an application.
Implement a JAAS LoginModule to connect to your own application data.
Secure Java EE applications by URL and role, and integrate JAAS authentication.
