Applied Cryptography Course
The Radboud University is organising, in collaboration with the Dutch Banking Association (NVB), a course in Applied Cryptography that teaches you how cryptographic techniques work and how to apply and assess them correctly.
About the course
Cryptography is an indispensable building block for the modern digital society.
Cryptography ensures reliable and safe identification, communication and data storage in almost all digital applications. A correct application of this is therefore of great importance. Cryptography is essential in the security of our digital infrastructure and in the current legislation and regulations concerning privacy. The Radboud University is organising, in collaboration with the Dutch Banking Association (NVB), the four-day course Applied Cryptography, a course in which you can increase your knowledge in the field of cryptography.
Learning Objectives of the Applied Cryptography Course
After completion of the course Applied Cryptography you will:
- have insight into applications of cryptography;
- be familiar with basic concepts of cryptography and cryptanalysis;
- have skills in the use of cryptography;
- be able to make an assessment of key management and authentication systems;
- be aware of the (im)possibilities of cryptography and the preconditions for its use;
- understand the technology behind blockchain and gain insight into when blockchain technology can be usefully applied;
- have insight into the background, recent developments and relevant authorities.
Who is the Applied Cryptography course for?
This course is intended for those who in one way or another come into contact with applications of cryptography, such as managers in the ICT sector, system developers and users, but also security officers, project leaders, IT auditors, information analysts, system designers and application programmers. Affinity and/or experience with technology or application of cryptography is a plus.
In the programme, presentations are alternated with practicals and case studies. The course concludes with a take-home exam and, if the exam result is satisfactory, you will receive the certification.
Practical information
For this course you will receive 32 CPE (Continuing Professional Education) points. The course will be given in Dutch or English, depending on the composition of the group of course participants. The course material is in English. A personal laptop is required for practical assignments.
