The convenience and efficiency of using new technology brings with it new security risks to the confidentiality and integrity of important commercial data. Many of these threats can only be practically countered by the use of cryptography. This short course will give a basic grounding in the capabilities, and also the limitations, of modern cryptography. The course is intended for engineers and managers who require familiarity with modern cryptographic theory and practice. Lectures cover background theory, current algorithms, and their application in the provision of security services. Supporting practical sessions provide "hands-on" experience using software implementations of modern cryptographic algorithms. Syllabus Topics: Cryptographic Basics Cryptographic Theory Symmetric Ciphers Authentication Public Key Cryptography Digital Signatures Cryptographic Protocols The cost of the course is 225 pounds per person. This fee includes full course documentation and tea/coffee and lunch each day. Overnight accommodation, at extra cost, can be arranged on request.
