Core Security Patterns Best Practices And Strategies For J2ee Web Services And Identity Management

Praise for Core Security Patterns Java provides the application developer with essential security mechanisms and support in avoiding critical security bugs common in other languages. A language, however, can only go so far. The developer must understand the security requirements of the application and how to use the features Java provides in order to meet those requirements. Core Security Patterns addresses both aspects of security and will be a guide to developers everywhere in creating more secure applications. --Whitfield Diffie, inventor of Public-Key Cryptography A comprehensive book on Security Patterns, which are critical for secure programming. --Li Gong, former Chief Java Security Architect, Sun Microsystems, and coauthor of Inside Java 2 Platform Security As developers of existing applications, or future innovators that will drive the next generation of highly distributed applications, the patterns and best practices outlined in this book will be an important asset to your development efforts. --Joe Uniejewski, Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President, RSA Security, Inc. This book makes an important case for taking a proactive approach to security rather than relying on the reactive security approach common in the software industry. --Judy Lin, Executive Vice President, VeriSign, Inc. Core Security Patterns provides a comprehensive patterns-driven approach and methodology for effectively incorporating security into your applications. I recommend that every application developer keep a copy of this indispensable security reference by their side. --Bill Hamilton, author of ADO.NET Cookbook, ADO.NET in a Nutshell, and NUnit Pocket Reference As a trusted advisor, this book will serve as a Java developers security handbook, providing applied patterns and design strategies for securing Java applications. --Shaheen Nasirudheen, CISSP,Senior Technology Officer, JPMorgan Chase Like Core J2EE Patterns, this book delivers a proactive and patterns-driven approach for designing end-to-end security in your applications. Leveraging the authors strong security experience, they created a must-have book for any designer/developer looking to create secure applications. --John Crupi, Distinguished Engineer, Sun Microsystems, coauthor of Core J2EE Patterns Core Security Patterns is the hands-on practitioners guide to building robust end-to-end security into J2EE(tm) enterprise applications, Web services, identity management, service provisioning, and personal identification solutions. Written by three leading Java security architects, the patterns-driven approach fully reflects todays best practices for security in large-scale, industrial-strength applications. The authors explain the fundamentals of Java application security from the ground up, then introduce a powerful, structured security methodology; a vendor-independent security framework; a detailed assessment checklist; and twenty-three proven security architectural patterns. They walk through several realistic scenarios, covering architecture and implementation and presenting detailed sample code. They demonstrate how to apply cryptographic techniques; obfuscate code; establish secure communication; secure J2ME(tm) applications; authenticate and authorize users; and fortify Web services, enabling single sign-on, effective identity management, and personal identification using Smart Cards and Biometrics. Core Security Patterns covers all of the following, and more: What works and what doesnt: J2EE application-security best practices, and common pitfalls to avoid Implementing key Java platform security features in real-world applications Establishing Web Services security using XML Signature, XML Encryption, WS-Security, XKMS, and WS-I Basic security profile Designing identity management and service provisioning systems using SAML, Liberty, XACML, and SPML Designing secure personal identification solutions using Smart Cards and Biometrics Security design methodology, patterns, best practices, reality checks, defensive strategies, and evaluation checklists End-to-end security architecture case study: architecting, designing, and implementing an end-to-end security solution for large-scale applications

Web-Application have been widely accepted by the organization be it in private, public or government sector and form the main part of any e-commerce business on the internet. However with the widespread of web-application, the threats related to the web-application have also emerged. Web-application transmit substantial amount of critical data such as password or credit card information etc. and this data should be protected from an attacker. There has been huge number of attacks on the web-application such as 'SQL Injection', 'Cross-Site Scripting', 'Http Response Splitting' in recent years and it is one of the main concerns in both the software developer and security professional community.This projects aims to explore how security can be incorporated by using security pattern in web-application and how effective it is in addressing the security problems of web-application.

Learn to combine security theory and code to produce secure systems Security is clearly a crucial issue to consider during the design and implementation of any distributed software architecture.

Web services technologies are advancing fast and being extensively deployed in many di?erent application environments. Web services based on the eXt- sible Markup Language (XML), the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP), andrelatedstandards,anddeployedinService-OrientedArchitectures(SOAs) are the key to Web-based interoperability for applications within and across organizations. Furthermore, they are making it possible to deploy appli- tions that can be directly used by people, and thus making the Web a rich and powerful social interaction medium. The term Web 2.0 has been coined to embrace all those new collaborative applications and to indicate a new, “social” approach to generating and distributing Web content, characterized by open communication, decentralization of authority, and freedom to share and reuse. For Web services technologies to hold their promise, it is crucial that - curity of services and their interactions with users be assured. Con?dentiality, integrity,availability,anddigitalidentitymanagementareallrequired.People need to be assured that their interactions with services over the Web are kept con?dential and the privacy of their personal information is preserved. People need to be sure that information they use for looking up and selecting s- vicesiscorrectanditsintegrityisassured.Peoplewantservicestobeavailable when needed. They also require interactions to be convenient and person- ized, in addition to being private. Addressing these requirements, especially when dealing with open distributed applications, is a formidable challenge.
