What you will learn

Integrate file hashing into Java applications and Android apps

Integrate secure password hashing into Java applications and Android apps

Description

In this course, you will learn how to implement document hashing and secure password hashing into Java applications using the Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA / JCE) APIs. This applies to Web applications and Java-based Desktop applications (e.g., JavaFX, Swing, AWT, SWT, RCP), but also database and backend applications as well as Android Apps.

Get practical security background information from an IT security expert. Learn how to encode hashes in-memory and stream-based. Learn how to use salt and iteration count properly for secure password hashing following PBKDF2 from the security standard PKCS#5. This is still one the most used secure hashing standards today.

You should be an experienced Java developer to take this course. We will do hands-on coding examples that can be directly used within your own (enterprise) applications!

We are using an older version of Eclipse in this course, however, the course’s content is still up-to-date. This is because PBKDF2 can be applied to current computing power by simply increasing the ‘famous’ iteration count (as used in various applications like VeraCrypt).

Content:

  • Setup: Download and import all necessary libraries

  • Simple Hashing Example

  • Real-world Hashing Example

  • Efficient stream-based Hashing

  • Message Authentication Code (MAC)

  • Secure Password Hashing with PBKDF2 / PKCS#5

  • Commercial Wrapper Libraries: Demo

  • JCE Unlimited Strength Policy File Installation (applies only for older JREs)

I thought the explanation was going to go hand in hand with the practical. I’m not familiar with this and he’s explaining to someone who is!

Good Course. Instructor is very good. Very explanatory and very good course for beginners and also for mid level professionals.

Great course! Just you need to be familiar with Java coding, Eclipse and hashing principles. The constructor is quick to respond to the questions which is the most appreciated thing for me!

He has good knowledge on this, but his explanations are to his standard, felt still needs to add some more.

The course is fine but too short. I hope the author is going to keep abreast with the latest development and update the training video accordingly.

The course gives useful knowledges about hashing with Java and it worth your time. Latest addition: surprisingly I have come to this course again and again when I face this type of tasks on my work.:) So I give now 5 stars. My first comment: I would need some more detailed explanation concerning cryptography, not mathematical one, but at least overall (for example, what is MD5, SHA, salt, etc, what is the difference between technics, when it is better to use each of them). I can't say that I understood every cryptography line of code. I would need not only audio explanations but also some pretty and helpful slides. Also it would be nice to see some real-world best practices of working with password security using hashing. At the end of the course you will get a working hashing algorithm, that is good. However, Frank suggests to improve it for production by yourself with some TODO list. I would prefer to go through the improvements during this course along with Frank. I would say that Frank didn't want to create some serious course about cryptography or hashing with Java, it seem a fast work. However if the author will create a detailed full-fledged course with real working with a database in the future I definitely would like to pass it. I see that the author has knowledges to give a lot of useful information in the area.

Very informative and engaging. The course is dense with information and not watered down with other details which may not be very important or which can always be referred in other books or materials.

Fast paced, straight to the point introduction into a very critical topic that all developers should be familiar with. I'll have to watch it once again and type it out to make sure that I've learn how to implement this myself.

Incredible course. I didn't have any experience with Java, only C++, but it's not too difficult to understand what's going on. He explains everything methodically.

I have no idea how easy it is to use Java for encryption until I found this course. Highly recommended!
