Course schedule

1
Cryptography and security services

  • Terminology and cryptographic principles.
  • Main cryptographic algorithms and their use in TLS: AES, DHE, ECC, RSA, DSA.
  • Hash functions (MD5, SHA1, SHA2, SHA3) with and without key (Hmac).
  • Cryptographic operating procedures.
  • Cryptanalysis and attacks on cryptographic functions.
  • Security services: confidentiality, authentication, integrity.
Hands-on work
OpenSSL-based encryption and decryption and cryptanalysis.

2
Certificates and digital signatures

  • Digital signature.
  • Attacks on public keys.
  • Certificates and PKCS12 key implementation.
  • Certificate profiles for TLS.
Hands-on work
Certificate design (client and server side) and PKCS12 on the client side.

3
TLS architecture and services

  • Positioning of different versions: SSLv3, TLS1.0, TLS1.1, TLS1.2.
  • Architecture, security protocol and services, TLS exchanges.
  • Configuring cipher suites.
Hands-on work
Configure a TLS client and analyze TLS traffic.

4
Configuring and implementing the TLS protocol

  • Client- and server-side configuration.
  • Configuration for simple server authentication.
  • Implement certificates and set up encryption algorithms on the server side.
  • Server authentication, certificate store configuration.
Hands-on work
Configuring and implementing TLS on the Apache Web server side.

5
Advanced TLS protocol services

  • TLS extensions and features.
  • Various authentication modes: OpenPGP certificate, PSK.
  • Ticket and reopen session.
  • Session benchmarking.
  • TLS client configuration (PKCS12).
Hands-on work
Configure TLS clients and servers for strong mutual authentication. Implementation of extensions, performance analysis.

6
Security analysis and outlook for the TLS protocol

  • Attacks on the TLS protocol.
  • Best practices, configuration control.
  • DTLS protocol overview.
  • Presentation of the future version of TLS 1.3.
Hands-on work
Audit the TLS protocol. Implement attacks on TLS. Configure and implement DTLS.

I was expecting something a little less technical and more practical, but it was interesting.

Little practical exercise

Working in the Kali environment wasn't very pleasant (the keyboard wasn't properly configured), the operations to be carried out in the practical sessions weren't clearly enough explained and the way to act in the different folders wasn't clearly enough explained, and the prior demonstration didn't allow us to benefit simply from the examples for our use.
