- Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
The capacity limit for the course is 48 student(s).
Current registration and enrolment status: enrolled: 0/48, only registered: 0/48, only registered with preference (fields directly associated with the programme): 0/48 - fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- there are 38 fields of study the course is directly associated with, display
- Course objectives
- The aim of this subject is to understand implementation details of cryptographic algortithms and protocols and to be able to apply the gained knowledge in practice. At the end of the course students should be able to design and implement cryptographic applications independently.
- Syllabus
- Principles of cryptography and cryptographic standards (symmetric cryptography, random number generation, hash functions, asymmetric cryptography, certificates, certification authority, PKI). Using cryptographic libraries in cryptoaplications (OpenSSL, Cryptlib, Microsoft Crypto API, Java). Digital Signatures (CMS/PKCS#7 structure, S/MIME, Czech legislation). Formats of commmon cryptographic files (keys, certificates, ASN.1). Biometric systems (fingerprint, face).
