Hands-on Halting the Hacker Classes

Cryptgraphy and Secure Networking

Since the days of Caesar Augustus, cryptography has been used to provide secret communications. Cryptography can also provide integrity controls and proof of authorship.

This course provides students with hands-on experience using cryptography, examining cryptographic algorithms wich providing confidentiality, integrity and accountaility.

We will examine key management options and key exchange protocols, in order to undstand the issues of cryptographic keys.

This course provides hands-on experience with cryptoanalysis, the art of breaking codes, by examining the methods and processes used to locate patterns and derive methods to break cyptography.

We will then take this knowledge of cryptography to the practical application of network privacy. We will explore VPN technologies which reside at each layer of the netowrk stack, examining their features and the scope fo the confidentiality and authentication they provide.
