Course info
• Practical focus (hands-on) - working with tools and
libraries
• Style of seminars may vary (different lecturers) but:
– small intro at the beginning of every seminar (no lectures)
with materials and tasks
– individual work = coding
• Discussion:
– ask (us) when stucked (within the seminar),
– IS discussion group if everybody might be interested (e.g.
if assignment is not clear)
Seminars overview

– OpenSSL and various libs
• 1x Certificates and OpenSSL in Python (Łukasz Chmielewski)
• 1x Standards (Zdeněk Říha)
• 1x Biometrics: face detection/recognition (Agáta Kružíková and
