Overview

Security is a critical part of any application. Applications have to be secured against disclosure of confidential information, modification or destruction of data, misappropriation of resources, and compromise of accountability. Applications can be secured by implementing security concepts, such as authentication, authorization, integrity, confidentiality, and non-repudiation. The Overview of Java Application Security (WJO-1113) course provides a description of basic security concepts, services, and technologies. The course explains the security challenges in the application, transport, and message layers of applications. Students also learn about security features provided by Java technologies, and how these features can be used in the web-tier, in tiers based on Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) technology, and in web services.The Overview of Java Application Security course does not include hands-on implementation of Java technologies to secure applications.
