4 Encryption
- A reminder of the basic principles.
- Implement encryption in an application. Possible uses.
- Test whether an application is properly protected by encryption.
- Encryption applications on the market.
Hands-on work
Implementation of a private certification authority with certificate integration in an application.
5 Testing applications
- How to test before going live.
- Fingerprinting: identification of server characteristics (web engine, framework, applications).
- Use a web spider to detect broken links and pages with or without authentication and encryption.
- How to measure application availability with a simulation.
Hands-on work
Example of attempted attacks and fingerprinting. How to write a web spider to detect broken links. Checking page authentication.
