Internet-facing applications are prone to many cyber attacks like Phishing, Cross-site Request Forgery, SQL Injection, etc. It results in loss of highly sensitive confidential information. 

 Windows application defacement is an attack on a desktop application that has a chance to send the valuable data  to  attacker systems. These are typically the work of system crackers, who break  into a web server and replace the hosted application with one of their own. Defacement  is generally meant as a kind of electronic graffiti, although recently it has become a  means to spread messages by politically motivated "cyber protesters" or hacktivists.

 

In this menternship, you will be challenged to use the Windows Dotnet core application to create a secure chat application free from any known vulnerabilities & implement Security functions/controls  like Authentication, Encryption, Decryption of Data using Symmetric algorithm & Key Exchange using Asymmetric algorithm & Digital signature of message using Self signed certificate to ensure integrity, etc to mitigate different  Windows based application vulnerabilities & protect from Windows application defacement.

 

A basic understanding of Dotnet core , C#, Cryptography , Signal R, Web API would help you get started on the menternship.
