Introduction to the basics of software security, the most common problems in the field of software
\nsecurity and ways to solve them. Upon completion of the course, students will have a deeper
\nunderstanding of the meaning and basic concepts of software security and will be able to identify the
\nmost common vulnerabilities in software security and devise a strategy to avoid or eliminate such
\nvulnerabilities.<\/p>\n
The role of security in software engineering. Software security problem. Reasons for software security
\nvulnerabilities. The most common examples of software vulnerabilities, examples of program
\ncodes and ways to solve vulnerabilities (buffer overflow, falling out of the range of possible
\nvalues, SQL injection, inserting a script into a web page). Failures in online flow monitoring and web
\napplication security. Session security. Session security techniques. Secure data storage and
\ntransmission. Categorisation of software security problems (CWE – Common Weakness Enumeration).
\nCharacteristics of programming languages, technologies and operating systems from the aspect of
\nsoftware security. Software security verification procedures. Safety testing (fuzzing).<\/p>\n
Examples of program code in which there is a problem of buffer overflow or out -of- range value.
\nExercises for correcting program code in order to avoid the mentioned security problems. Illustration of
\nSQL injection problems. Exercise implementation of techniques for overcoming SQL injection problems.
\nImplementing secure session execution. A case study of the security check of a desktop application that
\nuses a database. A case study of the security check of a web application that uses a database.
\nExercising writing and performing software security tests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
